Production
The working title of 'Two Sinners' was 'Two Black Sheep', the title of the 1933 Warwick Deeping novel on which it was based. The novel had become a best seller. In May 1935, Republic announced they would make a film of the novel. The same month, Arthur Lubin signed a contract with Republic for a year to make six pictures starting with the book 'Two Black Sheep' that became the film 'Two Sinners'.
Otto Kruger was cast in July 1935.
Release
'Two Sinners' was released as a second feature in some U.S. theaters alongside the Kay Francis vehicle 'The Goose and the Gander'.
The film impressed the holders of the rights to a W.W. Jacobs story which persuaded them to sell it to Lubin years later to make 'Footsteps in the Fog'.
