[1] It is based on the British play Sixteen by Aimée Stuart about the widowed mother of a middle class family who falls in love, provoking the jealousy of her daughter.

It was shot at the Babelsberg and Tempelhof Studios of AG|UFA in Berlin with location shooting taking place in London, Monte Carlo and Paris as well as around the German capital.

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Ludwig Reiber and Walter Reimann.

In London, Jennifer Lawrence wishes to marry Sir John Corbett and first discusses it with her daughters Baba and Irene.

Baba promises it and turns her head, still sobbing but not losing her humour, to tell Philip he has to give up his medal of valor for saving a life, which Philip, in love with Irene, agrees while drying his drenched trousers and, cool, replies: "Obviously: I mine, you your one!".
