  • The film was shot in two weeks in September 1973. It was planned as a cinematic exercise during a break between filming "Martha" and "Effi Briest".
  • The role of Ali was played by the director's then-lover, El Hedi Ben Salem. The role of the bar owner Barbara was played by Austrian actress Barbara Valentin, who was Freddie Mercury's companion in the 1980s.
