The 55-minute film was directed by Michael Mindlin , scriptwriter Edwin C. Hill , camera Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. The film premiered on April 30, 1934 at the Mayfair Theater in New York City . In the interests of the good economic relations between the USA and the German Reich, the film was canceled in New York; in Chicago , under pressure from the German consul, the film was no longer shown at all.
