Anecdotes
Not an exact remake, but "Man Hunt" recycles many plot elements from "The Famous Ferguson Case" (1932). Ambitious, small town reporter stumbles into a national crime story and is treated like a hick by the cynical, big city reporters that suddenly overrun the town.

Gaffes
When The Sheriff is telling the story of the cattle rustlers, one of the reporters sitting on the bed has his left arm wrapped around the bedpost. But on the following cut, the orientation of the arm has now changed.

Semi-stinker

Ricardo Cortez is a crook who has escaped from prison. He hides out in a hick town, where schoolteacher Marguerite Churchill hides him in her cabin because she has no brains.

William Gargan plays a local reporter and Churchill's sweetheart, who wants to snare Cortez so he can get a job at a better newspaper. Chic Sale, whom I had never seen before (and believe me, I never will again) plays an old coot who manages to irritate anyone with a heartbeat. When Cortez plans to rob the local bank, Gargan and Churchill come up with the brilliant idea of spreading a rumor that the bank is insolvent; thus, everyone in town withdraws their dough, and the bank is empty ahead of Cortez and his gang. Sale, whose head is as empty as the bank, fires his rifle at Cortez' car and blows out a tire. Cortez gives up. (For a change, at least he wasn't killed by Kay Francis.) Gargan and Churchill decide to stay in the hick town. Olin "Make me a sergeant in charge of the booze" Howland has a bit as a big city reporter. Cortez is onscreen for less than half the film.
