It was made at the Hunnia Studios in Budapest with three weeks of location shooting in Venice.[1] In common with the practice of multi-language versions at the time, the film was also made in a separate Hungarian language version Egy éj Velencében based on the same screenplay. The Hunnia Studios specialised in such co-productions during the era.[2] The two versions were shot simultaneously. The Hungarian version was co-directed by Wiene and Géza von Cziffra and used a separate cast of Hungarian actors.
The film appears to have been popular with Austrian and German audiences, although its critical reception was less enthusiastic.[3]
