Review of Safe in Hell (1931) by Reece Pendleton for Chicago Reader — 16 Jul 1938
Wellman’s splendid direction animates an otherwise static script, deftly blending comedic moments with surprisingly dark undertones. This 1931 drama may lack the punch of Wellman’s The Public Enemy, released the same year, but it’s still a fine display of his talents.
