Note that this was a German movie made by "Bavarian Film", but that William Fox co-produced the movie, no doubt so that he could get the U.S. distribution rights for it. Note that this movie had an unusual source from which it was created. It was based on an unfinished opera by Sergei Rachmaninoff after a play by Maurice Maeterlinck. The opera was not finished for a very long time, but this movie was based on it! Finally, it was completed in 1984, and was presented in New York. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
