The Road Back
Mescall also filmed "The Road Back" (1937) for Whale, an ill-fated sequel to "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930). Both are based on novels by Erich Maria Remarque. Though visually compelling, "The Road Back" bombed at the box-office, in part due to a well-publicized editing dispute between Whale and Universal executives. The film's cast included Noah Beery Jr. and Richard Cromwell.
