Safe in Hell (1931)

Poster for Safe in Hell

Love had mocked her...Life had marked her...Too honorless to be loved...But too beautiful to be safe in a land of forgotten men!

To avoid the rigors of the law, Gilda flees New Orleans and hides on a Caribbean island where the worst criminals can ask for asylum. Besieged by the scum of the earth, Gilda will soon find out that she has found refuge in hell.
