Cast

Production

In August 1936 Warners announced they would make Men in Exile the next month. They said it was a remake of Safe in Hell (1931) and would star Humphrey Bogart and Margaret Lindsay.[1] In October Dick Purcell and June Travis were announced as stars and John Farrow was to direct.[2]

Reception

"The direction is good and the chases are thrilling," said the Monthly Film Bulletin.[3] "Farrow has endeavoured to dignify familiar material with a touch of Maugham but the result is not outstanding" said the Los Angeles Times.[4]

Purcell and Travis were meant to be reunited in The Mystery of Hunting's End[5] (which became Mystery House with Purcell and Ann Sheridan.)
