The working title of Two Sinners was Two Black Sheep, the title of the 1933 Warwick Deeping novel on which it was based.[3] The novel had become a best seller.[4]

In May 1935 Republic announced they would make a film of the novel.[5] The same month Arthur Lubin signed a contract with Republic for a year to make six pictures starting with Two Black Sheep which became Two Sinners.[6]

Otto Kruger was cast in July 1935.[7]

Two Sinners was released as a second feature in some U.S. theaters alongside the Kay Francis vehicle The Goose and the Gander.[8]

The film impressed the holders of the rights to a W.W. Jacobs story which persuaded them to sell it to Lubin years later to make Footsteps in the Fog.[9]
