Production began on the film in October 1952. It was shot at studios in Göttingen and on location on the island of Capri.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director Walter Haag. Because of public protests against his wartime role as a Nazi filmmaker, Harlan considered turning over the project to his colleague Geza von Bolvary but eventually decided to direct it himself.[2]

It was the third film of a post-war comeback for the husband and wife team Harlan and Söderbaum, but was much less commercially successful than the two previous films the melodramas Immortal Beloved and Hanna Amon.[3]
