Production notes
The Flight in the Sun was probably created in the winter of 1913/14 in the Bioscop studio in Neubabelsberg . The four-act act with a length of about 1045 meters passed the film censorship on February 2, 1914 and was premiered on March 4, 1914 in the Admiralstheater as part of a press screening.
The flight in the sun presumably marked the film debut of the theater actress Tilla Durieux.
In the film, Hans Grade, a German pilot flew for the first time in a feature film.
criticism
"The Flight in the Sun", a play in four acts by Stellan Rye, gave the Admiralstheater the opportunity to see Tilla Durieux and Karl Clewing as film artists. (...) The role of the refined seductress suits Tilla Durieux particularly well, and so she also knows how to be captivating in the film through gestures and spirited play. The staging stays away from sentimentality and brings a psychologically deepened game. "
