Wen die Götter lieben

Joseph Goebbels suggested to Karl Hartl to make a biographical film on Mozart after viewing his sci-fi film Gold (1934).

It is not proven that Mozart and the young Beethoven ever met. Beethoven was indeed in Vienna in 1787 in the age of 16 to learn music, not in 1790, as in the movie. However they didn't meet as as Mozart took care of his sick father Leopold who died the same year and Beethoven had to leave due to the sickness of his mother. He only came back to Vienna years after Mozart died.

Instead of the word "End" or the German word "Ende" the movie ends with the word "Finis" ('The End' in Latin).
