The concert of Chuck Berry (1926-2017) shown in the film was filmed by documentarian D.A. Pennebaker in Toronto (Canada) in 1969. Wim Wenders himself filmed Berry's performance in Frankfurt in 1970, but discovered that he would have to pay exorbitant royalties to use his material in the film according to copyright law.
Director of the film, Wim Wenders, filmed at a cafe near the jukebox.
The idea for this film was suggested to director and screenwriter Wim Wenders by the experience of his friend, Austrian writer and playwright Peter Handke, as a single father.
According to Wim Wenders, he was very upset to learn that Peter Bogdanovich (1939-2022) had filmed the crime drama "Paper Moon" with a plot that Wenders considered similar. Samuel Fuller (1912-1997), also a director and mentor to Wenders, convinced him not to abandon the project halfway through and to finish the film.
