The amazing adventures of the „Lying Baron“ Münchhausen, staged in a high-spirited, ironic and opulent manner to celebrate UFA’s 25th anniversary, was a production that cost far more than the country could then afford. Despite his opposition to the Nazis, Erich Kästner, acclaimed author of “Emil & the Detectives”, was given permission to write the film’s screenplay - under a pseudonym.
