Production

No Greater Sin was an attempt to capitalize on the success of the Warner Bros. feature Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet (1940), recounting the pioneering treatment of venereal disease. Edward A. Golden, former publicity man turned independent film producer, made No Greater Sin at Monogram Pictures, using Monogram's actors, technicians, and studio facilities. Golden would later produce the biggest exploitation success of the 1940s, Hitler's Children, released by RKO in 1943.
