The film features Curd Jürgens as Harras, Marianne Koch as Dorothea 'Diddo' Geiss, Viktor de Kowa as SS-Gruppenführer Schmidt-Lausitz, Eva Ingeborg Scholz as Waltraut 'Pützchen' Mohrungen, and Harry Meyen as Leutnant Hartmann.
A BBC TV adaptation of the play in the Sunday Night Theatre strand was broadcast on 18 December 1955.
Translated by Robert Gore Brown, and directed by Rudolph Cartier, it starred Marius Goring as Harras, Margaretta Scott as Olivia Geiss, Helena Hughes as Diddo Geiss, and Cyril Shaps as Doctor Schmidt-Lausitz.
The play was remounted as part of the Summer Theatre strand, broadcast on 14 August 1960, again with Cartier directing.
Goring, Scott, and Shaps reprised their roles, with Jill Dixon replacing Hughes as Diddo Geiss.
