Curiosidades
When released in 1939, this film caused strong protests from the French government over the depiction of their penal colony. Not wanting to harm their marketing of other films in France or its colonies, Warner Brothers withdrew this film from overseas distribution until the fall of France the following year in World War 2.

Erros de gravação
When the horse and carriage run away, it is obviously a dummy that falls out, not the commandant's daughter.

Citações
Dr. Charles Gaudet: My only crime was saving a life. You call that treason?

Cenas durante ou pós-créditos
In the opening optical credits, the lead actors are billed only by their characters, not their actual names.

The Penal Colony

Doctor Boris Karloff tends to an escaped prisoner. He is convicted of helping him escape and sentenced to Devil's Island.

No, he doesn't go on to be a pirate and duel with Basil Rathbone. Produced in the wake of the previous year's Life Of Emile Zola, this second feature tries for an air of injustice and pity as Karloff saves the commandant's daughter and is betrayed when the commandant refuses to live up to the promises he made. Karloff handles the role with dignity, except when Howard Jackson's score gets in the way. George Barnes camerawork is dark and scrim-laden. For its short length it's good.
