After World War II, the Allied Forces banned the film from being shown in the German-occupied area because of its ending, which reminded the viewers to support the war effort. Director Käutner was eventually able to convince officials that the propaganda sequence was in no way a reflection of his political ideology and was added at request of Nazi censors. The remainder of the film was fairly apolitical, and, as such, it was brought back in circulation a few years later; the propaganda end sequence is not seen on current prints of the film.[2]
It was shot at the Tempelhof Studios.
Reisiger travels over the world, in search of news stories. He meets and marries Franziska, after her pregnancy, but continues to leave her. One colleague, dying, tells him to go home, and he returns. When World War II breaks out, he must leave again for war but is reluctant. Franziska urges it on him, reminding him that he managed for many years, and this is more important. She sees him off at the railway station among many wives seeing of their husbands.[3]
