'The Man Who Came Back' is a 1931 American Pre-Code drama film directed by Raoul Walsh, starring Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. The movie was adapted to screen by Edwin J. Burke from the play by Jules Eckert Goodman.
A Fox property for many years, it had been filmed before in the silent era in 1924 with George O'Brien and Dorothy Mackaill in the leads. A Spanish-language version called 'Road of Hell' was made in the same year.
Gaynor and Farrell made almost a dozen films together, including Frank Borzage's classics 'Seventh Heaven' (1927), 'Street Angel' (1928), and 'Lucky Star' (1929); Gaynor won the first Academy Award for Best Actress for the first two and F. W. Murnau's 'Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans' (1927).
