1953 | Elia
Hildegard Knef was supposed to play the female lead, but shortly before filming began, Elia Kazan cast Gloria Grahame instead.
Cirkus Cernik is a fictionalized version of the Circus Brumbach, who escaped from East Germany in 1950. They play the circus performers in the movie.
Marlene Dietrich turned down the role that eventually went to Gloria Grahame.
Karel Cernik mentions the train that broke through the Czech border into West Germany. That happened on September 11, 1951.
According to director Elia Kazan in his autobiography, East German officials harassed his cast and crew and threatened to harm their relatives still living in that communist country. The first director of photography resigned due to these threats.
"Rudolph: [to Cernik] The curse of my life is that I'm a handsome man."
"Karel Cernik: Just stay in the cage with the lions. You'll be safe in there."
