Description
Contemporary postcard used to advertise the film in its native country, here depicting a scene from the start of the film, which takes place on the last night of the carnival (Szvetiszláv Petrovich is in the middle among the women).

Szvetiszláv Petrovits was born Svetislav Ivan Petrović in 1894 in Újvidék (today Novi Sad in Serbia). He was also known by the names Ivan Petrovich and Borislav Petrowitsch (the Hungarian version of his name is sometimes written Petrovich or Petrovics). He began his career at Sascha Film, Vienna, in 1920, subsequently starring in ten Hungarian films for the Star and Corvin film companies in Budapest. Thanks to his singing talent he made a successful transition to talking pictures and he worked in Germany, France and Hollywood. He made more than a hundred films during his career. He died in Munich in 1962.
