The scenes with the tigers appear to have been filmed on interior sets and were most likely done in Germany. To obtain his tigers, Fritz Lang would have undoubtedly drew upon one of Germany’s larger circuses, leading to speculation as to whether or not Charly Baumann or Gunther might have worked on this picture as a technical advisor/stunt double.
The tigers came from dutch animaltrainer Erie Klant. Klants mother whas married to Willy Hagenbeck, six tigers where used during the three week shoot. the cats where worked by By Belita Klant, Roel de Vries and student animaltrainer Frans Bik, who also whas a stunt double for Paul Hubschimdt
