Looping the Loop (German: Die Todesschleife) is a 1928 German silent thriller film directed by Arthur Robison and starring Werner Krauss, Jenny Jugo and Warwick Ward.[1] The film was produced by UFA. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin and on location in London. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Robert Herlth and Walter Röhrig. As with UFA's Variety, Paramount Pictures handled the film's American distribution as part of the Parufamet agreement. Paramount prepared a sound version for distribution in English speaking countries. While the sound version has no audible dialog, it featured a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process.
