The entire film crew was in Kremsmünster for a long time . There the court scenes were recorded in the imperial hall of the Benedictine monastery and the dungeon scenes were filmed in the cellar of the Theater am Tötenhengst .

Reviews

“In two hours of“ Jump ”, however, the confrontation with the persecution of the Jews becomes rather superficial, the actors are sold below their value. The soundtrack recorded by the Linz Bruckner Orchestra and the nature shots provide comfort over the length of the staging. "

“Gripping material, but staged in a conservative way. Nothing against Hollywood star Patrick Swayze (55), but as a lawyer the former Dirty Dancer looks pretty out of place. "
