Production
Dietrich knew little English at the time and spoke her lines phonetically.
According to Robert Osborne of Turner Classic Movies, Cooper and von Sternberg did not get along. Von Sternberg filmed so as to make Cooper look up at Dietrich, emphasizing her at his expense. Cooper complained to his studio bosses and got it stopped.
The final scene is recreated in the 1946's Mexican film Enamorada, directed by Emilio Fernández.
