Producer Erich Pommer put the set design of the film in the hands of designer Hermann Warm and painters Walter Reimann and Walter Rohrig whom he had met as soldiers while painting sets for a German military theater. When Pommer began to have second thoughts about how the film should be designed the designers convinced him that it made sense to paint lights and shadows directly on set walls floors background canvases and to place flat sets behind the actors-a cost saving measure that was the essence of a groundbreaking stylistic innovation. <br /> <br /> 11 x 14 inches.
