The film is based on the play Monna Vanna by Maurice Maeterlinck which itself drew on story by the sixteenth century writer Niccolò Machiavelli. It was made at the Emelka Studios near Munich as part of a deal Eichberg had struck with Bavaria Film. Some filming also took place at the Johannisthal Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Willy Reiber, Jacek Rotmil and Kurt Richter.
