'Love and the First Railway' is what this movie's title would mean in English. This is one of those films that depicts fictional characters participating in an historic incident. The actual first railway was built in England, of course. But according to this movie, the first railway (in Germany, at least) was built from Berlin to Potsdam, in 1838. I haven't the faintest idea if that's correct, but the people who made this movie do seem to take a great deal of interest in historical accuracy, so I'll take their word for it. Anyway, a title at the beginning establishes that this movie is set in 1838.

"Die Flamme" fue la última película de Lubitsch en Alemania, antes de su partida a Estados Unidos. Desafortunadamente, sólo queda una bobina de este melodrama con Pola Negri. La reconstrucción realizada para el Museo de Cine de Munich se compone, por tanto, de numerosas fotografías del rodaje y dibujos del guion que complementan los 22 minutos restantes de película. Pola interpreta con garra a su personaje de mujer perdida. Se advierte el toque de Lubitsch en detalles muy concretos, como el pequeño gesto de la mano de Yvette hacia su compañera de cuarto para mantener alejado al peligroso Gaston. Es difícil tener una opinión verdadera sobre esta película porque sólo queda un fragmento muy pequeño. Es obligado remarcar, no obstante, el cuidado con la decoración y el vestuario para reconstituir el París del Segundo Imperio. Alfred Abel es un excelente villano.
