A. W. Sandberg had cowritten his first filming of "The Clown", which had starred actor Valdimar Psilander, in 1917 with Laurids Skards. "The Golden Clown", cowritten by A.W. Sandberg with Poal Knudsen, starring Gosta Eckman and Karina Bell, was one of two remakes of films that had been originally shot in 1917 that Sandberg had filmed that year, his having also during 1926 having directed Gunnar Tolnaes and Karina Bell in the film "Oriental Love/The Favorite Wife of the Maharadjah" (Maharajahens Yndlingshustru). The Danish Film Museum viewed both films as "tame" in years that brought "decline" for A.W. Sanberg and "catastrophe" for Nordisk, causing the company to liquidate during 1928-1929. Forsyth Hardy, in his volume Scandinavian Film chronicles that after the war, the Danish film industry, by then principally Nordisk Film, had greatly lost popularity through competetion with the better equipped United States and Sweden, which may have been a factor in the decision to refilm earlier successes.
