Plot

A young woman's attempts to break into the film industry are thwarted by two unscrupulous producers.[1]

Background

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Erich Grave and Karl Vollbrecht. The film offered support to the Nazi Party's anti-Semitic stance by a negative portrayal of the two Jewish film producers. It received strong official backing, and a gala premiere was arranged for its release by Joseph Goebbels. To Goebbels' surprise and disgust, the first night audience booed, once the screening was over. The incident was largely hushed-up, and the film's director Arzén von Cserépy went back to his native Hungary in disgrace and never made another German film.[2]

The film was a success, however, for the young actress Hilde Krüger. Following this film, she was given the patronage of Goebbels. She was to appear in twenty more films, and went on to be a spy for Germany.[3]

Cast
gollark: It seems suboptimal for what you specified versus an FPGA + dedicated silicon CPU.
gollark: Definitely very neat but impractical without much work.
gollark: Asynchronous CPUs barely get a wikipedia page.
gollark: What? There's tons of information on FPGAs.
gollark: I'm probably just going to be eternally stuck with advancing and somewhat bad modern computers plus random fiddling with other ones.
