Giglio infranto (Broken Blossoms) è un film del 1936 diretto da Hans Brahm (John Brahm). Remake del capolavoro di David W. Griffith, il film fu prodotto da Julius Hagen che, nato ad Amburgo nel 1884, aveva lasciato la Germania quando era ancora bambino. Alla lavorazione della pellicola parteciparono altri tedeschi che, invece, avevano lasciato la loro terra dopo la salita al governo dei nazisti: la regia fu affidata a Hans Brahm, la fotografia a Curt Courant - collaboratore di Fritz Lang e poi anche di Alfred Hitchcock -, la musica al galiziano Karol Rathaus mentre tra gli attori vi era Dolly Haas, nota attrice del cinema tedesco e moglie del regista, nel ruolo che nel 1919 era stato di Lillian Gish.
