Written and directed by Reinhold Schünzel, it is based on plays by Molière, Plautus, and Heinrich von Kleist, which in turn are based on Greek mythology. On the contrary, Rafael de España, an expert in Greek-themed cinema, points out that it is not a direct adaptation of any of the previous works, but rather a work with multiple humorous anachronisms taken from the American film Roman Scandals (1932). ## Credits - **Director:** [Reinhold Schünzel](https://cinepixo.com/people/reinhold-schunzel) - **Screenplay:** [Reinhold Schünzel](https://cinepixo.com/people/reinhold-schunzel) - **Original Music Composer:** [Franz Doelle](https://cinepixo.com/people/franz-doelle) - **Producer:** [Günther Stapenhorst](https://cinepixo.com/people/gunther-stapenhorst) - **Director of Photography:** [Fritz Arno Wagner](https://cinepixo.com/people/fritz-arno-wagner), [Werner Bohne](https://cinepixo.com/people/werner-bohne) - **Editor:** [Arnfried Heyne](https://cinepixo.com/people/arnfried-heyne) ## Cast - [Ewald Wenck](https://cinepixo.com/people/ewald-wenck) - [Käthe Gold](https://cinepixo.com/people/kathe-gold) as Alkmene - [Paul Kemp](https://cinepixo.com/people/paul-kemp) - [Vilma Bekendorf](https://cinepixo.com/people/vilma-bekendorf) - [Hilde Hildebrand](https://cinepixo.com/people/hilde-hildebrand) - [Fita Benkhoff](https://cinepixo.com/people/fita-benkhoff) - [Annemarie Korff](https://cinepixo.com/people/annemarie-korff) - [Willy Fritsch](https://cinepixo.com/people/willy-fritsch) as Jupiter - [Adele Sandrock](https://cinepixo.com/people/adele-sandrock) as Juno - [Aribert Wäscher](https://cinepixo.com/people/aribert-wascher) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
