Production
The film was based on a 1925 play by Henry Kistemaeckers. Art direction was by Franz Schroedter. It was shot at the Tempehof Studios. The film's exterior scenes were shot on location in Sicily and the AVUS racetrack in Berlin, and was one of the first German part-sound films to be released during the transition from silent to sound.[1] A separate French language version The Night Is Ours was also released, directed by Roger Lion.

gollark: According to Wikipedia he's been with Tesla from a year after they started and ran it since 2008, so I feel like he deserves much of the credit for that.
gollark: It's ridiculous to complain that he doesn't know much about rocketry and stuff himself and (THE HORROR) hired competent people who do, and managed to improve the state of space travel a lot.
gollark: I'm not sure what you mean by "apartheid profiting", but generally that seems pretty stupid.
gollark: Unless they have a warrant, you can apparently just tell them to go away and they can't do anything except try and get one based on seeing TV through your windows or something.
gollark: But the enforcement of it is even weirder than that:- there are "TV detector vans". The BBC refuses to explain how they actually work in much detail. With modern TVs I don't think this is actually possible, and they probably can't detect iPlayer use, unless you're stupid enough to sign up with your postcode (they started requiring accounts some years ago).- enforcement is apparently done by some organization with almost no actual legal power (they can visit you and complain, but not *do* anything without a search warrant, which is hard to get)- so they make up for it by sending threatening and misleading letters to try and get people to pay money
