Trivia
The headlines in the newspapers at the booth are about Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiary, former queen of Iran, who has just been divorced from Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Goofs
The plot is located in Munich/Bavaria, so the registration number of the car Seidel an the boys restored should begin with M, but it begins with RS for Remscheid/Northrhine-Westphalia.

Alternate versions
After the film was released theatrically in October 1958 there was some controversy with the scene where Dr. Seidel tells his students that the chance to win at a gambling machine is 1:37. A German lobby organization protested against this, stating that the chance to win is fixed at 1:4 by law. The result was that after 30th January 1959 a statement was put at the beginning of the film citing the error.
