Background

The original screenplay by Mikhail Romm was titled "Commodity of the Squares" and under this name, the film went into production in 1932. The original plot focused on the fate of three young women during the global economic downturn in Germany (the Weimar Republic). The film was completed by the end of 1932 but was shelved by film officials, who deemed it too long, unclear, and lacking a strong depiction of the fight against fascism.
