Whom the Gods Destroy has a bit of a checkered history in terms of availability. It's not the easiest film to find, which adds to its allure for collectors. The scarcity of prints means that when you do come across one, it often comes with a charming sense of history. Interest in this film seems to have grown as collectors appreciate its unique narrative and the glimpse it provides into the late pre-Code era of Hollywood. It's a curious piece that deserves a place in discussions about early sound cinema.
