It was very common to shoot a picture concurrently in different languages at the time.
Often with some lead playing the same role, as does Brigitte Helm in the French and German versions of 'Gold'.
Another such example is 'Andalusian Nights'[1] (German) with Imperio Argentina reprising her role in the Spanish version of that film, 'Carmen de la Trirana'.
The opening has phenomenal cinematography, editing and singing btw.[2]

- pavlov 4y agoIt was even common to shoot multiple identical takes in the same language and create multiple cuts of the negative. The process of making positive film prints wasn’t refined back then, it wore out the negatives, and so having multiple negative cuts enabled the producer to make more prints of a popular film.
