The film's sets were designed by the art director Artur Schwarz [arz; de].

Richard misses his wife Anna greatly; he literally counts the days since he's seen her and tells Karl about her and their home in detail.

Karl makes it back to Hamburg, where he meets Anna and occupies a spare room in her flat.

She cries; he takes her in his arms; she returns his embrace; but when he begins to make love to her, she refuses his advances.

The sound version of the film featured a theme song entitled "Homecoming" which was composed by Harold Fraser Simon and Harry Graham.
