Notes
Reviews translate the title as "When Roses Bloom" and "A Hole in the Wall." This is the Swedish-language version of the first sound, Paramount film produced in France, Un trou dans le mur. A Spanish-language version was also made at Joinville, please see the record for Un hombre de suerte.
The Variety review of the opening of När rosorna slå ut in New York gives the running time as 101 minutes. The NYSA censorship records list footage running 81 minutes. The film was advertised as the first 100% talking picture in Swedish. In an interview, Swedish director Edvin Adolphson stated that he traveled to London and Paris to learn techniques of sound film production. Adolphson also noted that the Paramount Joinville studio was not completed by the time production on the Swedish version had begun, so it was instead filmed at the Gaumont studio. To appeal to Danish and Norwegian audiences, actors Viking Ringheim and Else-Marie Hansen were hired.
