Fritz Lang's cruelty to his actors was legendary here. Peter Lorre was thrown down the stairs into the cellar over a dozen times.When Lang wanted to hire Lorre for "Human Desire" over two decades later, the actor refused.

The tune that Peter Lorre's character whistles is "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from the "Peer Gynt" suite by Edvard Grieg.

The visual accuracy was achieved thanks to advisor and rocket scientist Professor Hermann Oberth.
