-==Comment==
-"Der Kaiser von Kalifornien is, despite the flood of German westerns in the 60s, still the best German western. Rhythm and realism of the journey to California, of the mass scenes with workers building the Nova Helvetia and the scenes on the gold fields are far ahead of everything that similar German and even most of the American productions had to offer then." (Joe Hembus)
+===<i class="fas fa-lightbulb fa-xs"></i> Trivia ===
+{{gap}}
-Trenker went with a mini crew and a small budget to the USA where he shot most of the scenes on location in Nevada, California and Texas. The missing mass scenes were later shot in Italy near Livorno.
