Production notes


The film was made in the same year as Scarface, which is considered to be the Howard Hawks' best film of the early sound era. The general storyline was repeated several times in later films such as Manpower (1941) with Marlene Dietrich and George Raft, in which Robinson plays the same role but as a powerline worker.

The film's leading lady Zita Johann may be best remembered for her role in Karl Freund's The Mummy (1932).


Box office


According to Warner Bros. records, the film earned $436,000 domestically and $443,000 foreign.[1]
