Cast

Production

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 the book Two Black Sheep that became the film Two Sinners.[6]

Otto Kruger was cast in July 1935.[7]

Release

Two Sinners was released as a second feature in some U.S. theaters alongside the Kay Francis vehicle The Goose and the Gander.[3]

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.[8]
