Taglines

Your heart will cry but ...your eyes sting with tears...at this thundering revelation of man's inhumanity to man! (Print Ad-Illawarra Mercury, ((Wollongong, NSW)) 2 October 1936)
Based on the life story of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd
Condemned to live-he dies a thousand deaths. No blood on his hands-no guilt in his heart, but a nation's frenzied hate dooms him to a living death on a fever isle where brutes are masters and sharks are guards. Tortured-martyred-betrayed-but a woman's faith never fails him. (Print Ad-Walton Advertiser, ((Walton, Ky.)) 28 May 1936)
