According to his autobiography Kinski Uncut, Klaus Kinski had an on-set sexual affair with his co-lead "Claudia" (clearly Brigitte Grothum, who was then married to the conductor of the Berlin Radio Philharmonic Carl August Bünte) during the Vienna shoot: "We have to swallow drops for our circulation because between takes we slump in our chairs like two cripples, unable even to eat. This is because, aside from acting, we do nothing but fuck." The affair continued during the shooting of The Inn on the River (1962):"In Travemiinde we try to get to the beach at least for a couple of hours just to clear our lungs . But when Claudia, who's not wearing panties, spreads her legs in front of me in the beach chair, we head back to our rooming house and don't get out of bed until Monday morning.". Then 'Claudia' got pregnant:"Her husband can calculate that the baby can't be his. Today I get together with Claudia for the last time. We want to try not to see each other anymore."
