"Both the German and an English/German version of The Blue Angel film were filmed at the same time. The English version was destined for the English-speaking territories, but the somewhat hair-raising accents of the actors made the German version the more internationally popular."--Note on disc menu, Disc 2.

Both films originally released as motion pictures in 1930.
