Trivia:

Parts of the film, notably the scenes at the Berlin Film Studio and the scene were Elsa is having here picture taken, are shot at old Svenska Biografteaterns filmstudio in Kristianstad, Skåne, Sweden (built in 1908). The old studio is part of Filmmuseum today.

Admiration for Amanda and her skillful work.

Excellent light and close ups.Beautiful nature.Nice tempo. Good actors.Perhaps the film ought to be shortened by a few minutes regarding the Berlin part of the story. All together i think its an excellent film.
