Interesting facts
Poison in the Zoo is a 1952 West German thriller film directed by Hans Müller and Wolfgang Staudte and starring Irene von Meyendorff, Carl Raddatz and Petra Peters.
Production
During production in 1951, director Wolfgang Staudte was removed and replaced when the West German authorities refused to consider the production eligible for state subsidies unless Staudte declared that he would no longer work for the DEFA studios of the Communist East German state. Staudte, who had made several major productions for DEFA, refused and was replaced by Müller.
The film was shot at the Wandsbek Studios in Hamburg and on location in the city's Tierpark Hagenbeck. The sets were designed by Albrecht Becker and Herbert Kirchhoff.
