The film was a major hit when it was released in Germany in 1930. Five of the people who worked on the film went on to direct films in Hollywood: Curt Siodmak, his brother Robert Siodmak, Edgar G. Ulmer, Fred Zinnemann, and Billy Wilder.

When the movie star picture cards are torn off the wall, the number of cards still on the wall constantly changes. Sometimes more cards are still on the wall than in the shot before, etc.
