Edgar G. Ulmer was an art director on the film, and of course the great cameraman Karl Freund was the director of photography, long before he came to American and directed THE MUMMY and MAD LOVE. Visitors to the set included these future and current directors: Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Curt Siodmak and Sergei Eisenstein. Of course, in 1927 only Eisensein was actually a famous director.
