Note that this movie bears marked similarities to G.W. Pabst's "Pandora's Box", but the Chekhov novel was written in 1884, and "Pandora's Box" comes from a different source. Also note that director Douglas Sirk (born "Detlef Sierck") had left Nazi Germany in 1941, after having made several German movies, and then he directed "Hitler's Madman" in 1943, which led to this movie the following year, and of course, in the 1950s, he gained a great following for his romantic melodramas!
