Review of Safe in Hell (1931) by X. T — 18 Mar 2009

A lean, well scripted melodrama about a prostitute who escapes to a Caribbean island populated by criminals after accidentally killing a client, where she's the only white woman there. Most of the criminals are used as comic relief in an otherwise very bleak film.

Not much I can say except that Mackaill was really good and that it doesn't settle for anything less than a heartbreaking ending.
