Anecdotes
In Madge Evans' interview with Leonard Maltin in "Film Fan Magazine" (December 1972), she gave the following testimony about making this film: "Well, this was not his James Whale kind of film. He was much too intelligent, much too good a director for this kind of nonsense, which was all about people cast adrift on an island, a dreadful picture, and he was much, much too good for it. He hated it, and also being a rather uptight Englishman, he showed that he hated it. You could just see that every time he came to a scene, he was saying, 'Oh, my God,' and that doesn't make anybody feel either confident or happy."

Gaffes
Although washed away on a deserted island, John Boles continually looks like he just stepped out of a Beverly Hills barber shop, and Marion Martin's bleached blonde hair remains styled and curled, with no dark roots, and she never abandons her false eyelashes and mascara makeup.

Sinners in Paradise (1938)

*** (out of 4)

Universal drama directed by James Whale about a plane load of people who crash on an island ran by a loner (John Boles). This one here doesn't have a very good reputation but I found it to be highly entertaining until the last fifteen minutes when things started to drag a bit. Whale's direction is right on the mark mixing some nice drama with some comedy and using the oddball characters to full effect. Boles, from Whale's Frankenstein is very good in the lead and the supporting players are good as well. The plane crash is handled with a master's touch. Madge Evans and Bruce Cabot co-star.
