Tres páginas de un Diario, estrenada en septiembre de 1929, fue la segunda versión cinematográfica de la novela "Diario de una Perdida" de Margarethe Bohme. Curiosamente, la primera fue interpretada en 1918 por Erna Morena, actriz que un año antes había protagonizado "Lulu", adaptación de la obra de Frank Wedekind que fue, también, el título que unió por vez primera al realizador alemán G.W. Pabst y a la actriz norteamericana Luise Brooks: La Caja de Pandora (Lulú), estrenada en enero de 1929. Estos dos títulos, junto a "Crisis" (1928), integran lo que se conoció como la "trilogía erótica" de Pabst, lo que puede dar una pista de los problemas de censura y distribución que tuvieron en su momento ambos films.

If watching a fellow facing indifference/rejection in the slums of Berlin didn't convey enough pathos, Gerhard Lamprecht gathered much of the same crew from Die Verrufenen and turned his attention to the city's population of unwanted children for the heart-tugging Die Unehelichen, released the following year. The trio of foster children at the center of Die Verrufenen are survivors who use their own resourcefulness to get by when the kids' guardians and the system itself let them down.

The film was an unauthorized adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but the source material went unrecognized by some of the German media due to changes in the characters' names. Released in 1920, this is one of Murnau's lost films. While the film itself does not survive, the scripts and related production notes do. Because the film is lost, its full length is unknown. Dr. Warren is the Dr. Jekyll character who changes into Mr. O'Connor, a parallel of Mr. Hyde. This transformation is brought about, not by experimentation with chemicals as in Stevenson's original, but through the supernatural agency of a bust of Janus (the Roman god of the doorway), which Warren / O'Connor purchases in the opening sequence as a gift for his sweetheart, Jane. When she refuses the gift, horrified, Warren / O'Connor is forced to keep the statuette himself...
