Two Sinners

Despite its misleading title, pepped-up from Warwick Deeping's novel Two Black Sheep, this is a respectable relation to Magnificent Obsession, Sorrell and Son (another Deeping novel) and the many other emotional "women's pictures" made from best-selling novels in the thirties. It's a picture that the then-small Republic Company, specializing in westerners and actioners, could well be proud of, and while its script touches on rather than exploits some of the bizarre elements of the novel, it has all the gloss (if not the star value) of a Universal film. --WKE The Story: Kruger, fresh out of jail for murder, leaves London for the south of France and falls in with a governess (Martha Sleeper), tending the precocious child of Mrs. Pym (Minna Gombell), an adventuress. The wrong side of the law is crossed and criss-crossed, leading to a highly engrossing final half-hour.
