Apparently Dieterle writes about it in his autobiography and was very proud it was a critical and commercial success, and it got attention at a film retrospective in London in 1970 too. I guess it wasn't a flop, more sort of nobody knew what to make of it?
All right; I was misled by the more general internet. I'm glad to hear about the retrospective in 1970.
Barthelmess said "This is the most unusual picture I have ever made. It will be either a great attraction or a dismal flop."
Cult film!
Now I want Strangers In Paradise: The Hollywood Emigres 1933–1950, by John Russell Taylor. YOUR FAULT.
