Reviews
“Unfortunately this last film from the Morawsky production of Terra is a real failure. The barely discovered Marlen [e] Dietrich plays boring and empty-eyed; the most famous young Kurt Bernhardt directs it and everything is surpassed by Max Brod's subject. These people are paper figures, sucked out of gloved fingers at the desk [...]. "
"Carefully designed silent film melodrama in which Marlene Dietrich shines for the first time in the role of ' femme fatale ' alongside the brilliant Fritz Kortner ."
