The Road Back
The film was made by James Whale for Warner Brothers shortly after the troubled production of "The Road Back" which had met with controversy and opposition from the Nazi government, and strained his relationship with his bosses at Universal Pictures where he had worked for the past six years. The Garrick film was intended to be a more light-hearted effort. However, both it and his next film "Port of Seven Seas" were failures at the box office. Whale eventually returned to Universal where he saw out his contract largely by making B Movies.
