Anecdotes
In an interview given in 1993, Fay Wray expressed disappointment over this film. She recalled that she felt the script was substandard and a bit too unrealistic. She was surprised to learn from the interviewer that screenwriters Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur had likely pawned the script off on one or more subordinates before the script was finished.

Gaffes
When The Arab is going down the street on his way to tell Hunt about his inability to furnish him with a car, he is clearly being followed by a spotlight.

Citations
Barrington Hunt: Did you get that car?
Arab: Impossible.
Barrington Hunt: It's not impossible! Do you expect me to go on a camel? Now you keep on looking until you come back with a car. A car - do you understand? Four wheels. One on each corner. A motor in the front to make it go.

Ronald Colman and Fay Wray star in "The Unholy Garden," a 1931 film that is darn strange.

A fugitive from justice (Colman) winds up at a hotel in the Algerian desert where all the other thieves and killers hang out. Among them is lovely Fay Wray and her blind father. Word is the old man is hiding a great deal of money, and the thieves want it. Colman manages to become their leader, but his agenda is somewhat different from theirs.

Ronald Colman is delightful as Barrington Hunt, escaped con - fast talking, debonair, and charming. Wray is beautiful as the vulnerable, despairing Camille de Jonghe, who feels that her life will never change.

The atmosphere is marvelous - one really feels like they're in an Algerian hotel where danger lurks. Worth seeing for Colman and Wray.
