    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The movie's full title "Fabian - Going to the dogs" is actually the title that Erich Kästner wanted to call the novel originally. However the publisher rejected it so it was changed to "Fabian - The story of a moralist".
    • Goofs
      When being in Labude's garden the meadow is watered by an impact sprinkler. It was first invented in 1933 in California, while the scene is set in Germany in 1931.
    • Quotes

      Producer Makart: A appendix is like a socialist. You know why? Because it is better without him.

    • Crazy credits
      During the closing credits the names and tasks of cast and crew keep switching based on the position of the credits. If the credits are right-adjusted, then first the name and then the job/role appears. If left-adjusted, then it is the other way around.

      Edited from Die Stadt der Millionen (1925)

    Germans dare explore their history
    With so much allied disinformation and anti-German propaganda from the war, it's refreshing to see Germans diving into their own history. Of course still manipulated by the powers that be, but perhaps soon they date opening the Laterna Magica in full.
