It is based on the 1935 musical comedy The Court Concert (music: Edmund Nick) which Verhoeven had co-written. A previous film version was made in 1936 and directed by Douglas Sirk. The remake was shot using agfacolor. Both productions are in the tradition of operetta films.

It was produced by the major studio Tobis Film during 1944, but was not given a formal release until 1948 in Sweden and then East and West Germany the following year.

The art director Otto Erdmann worked on the film's sets. Location shooting took place in Bavaria.

Cast
gollark: No, that is *a thing they do*, but the general point of them is to enforce laws, which happens most of the time.
gollark: Yes, some police do bad things, but that doesn't mean all of them do, so "What good things do either us police or army do" is very hyperbolic.
gollark: I mean, they are mostly not... randomly arresting people due to incorrect skin melanin content.
gollark: Well, obviously the police... enforce the law, roughly.
gollark: Besides that, I am pretty sure that is not how it works.
