The film's sets were designed by the art director Nino Borghi. It was shot at the Rosenhgel Studios in Vienna. Location shooting took place in the Swiss Alps. The film was made using Agfacolor. It was based on a classic novel which had previously been filmed in Hollywood as 'Eternal Love' (1929) by Ernst Lubitsch.
