The Third Man records had been sold in Britain, with the teen-aged Princess Margaret a reported fan. Following its release in the US in 1950 (see 1950 in music), ""The Third Man" Theme" spent 11 weeks at number one on "Billboard"s US Best Sellers in Stores chart, from 29 April to 8 July. The exposure made Anton Karas an international star, and the trailer for the film stated that "the famous musical score by Anton Karas" would have the audience "in a dither with his zither".

Alexander Korda Vienna to make "Everybody's Woman" (1924). While there, he began work on his next film, the historical "Tragedy in the House of Habsburg" (1924), which portrayed the Mayerling Incident. It earned back around half of its production cost. He followed this with "Dancing Mad" (1925), another melodrama. Korda had frequent problems with money, and often had to receive support from friends and business associates. Korda had cast his wife Maria Corda as the female lead in all his German-language films and to a large degree, his productions depended on her star power. Korda cast her again in "A Modern Dubarry"
