This film is one of the rare attempts at DEFA to make a film in musicals. Originally Horst Bonnet should be directing. Werner W. Wallroth created after he took over the direction a successful mix of social drama and Berliner Volksbank piece.
Lead actor Kurt Nolze was a serious cabaret singer who played here the greatest of his few film roles. Werner Lierck - one of the most popular comedian since the 1950s - occurs in this film in several roles. It was also his last appearances before his death in 1985.
Although the musical uses the name and the figure Zilles, however, is not a true biographical work. For this, the authors went to a free approach to Zilles life and have many facets not taken into account. Template is the musical never mentioned the painter of Berlin by Dieter Wardetzky and Peter Rabenalt.
