The film's sets were designed by the art directors Willy Schiller and Otto Guelstorff. Location shooting took place around Swinemünde. It was well received by contemporary critics, many of whom considered it the best Ger ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
