    • Trivia
      One of over 700 Paramount productions, filmed between 1929-49, that were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. Possibly because of legal complications, this particular title was not included in the original television package and may not have ever been televised.

    The Barrier 1937 Looking for a copy
    This is not actually a review as intended and I hope it will be accepted. I appeared in this movie "The Barrier" in 1937. I played the part of Molly and my screen name was Sally Martin. My name now is Sibylle Marks. I am trying to locate a copy of this movie - in any form. I have managed to obtain a copy of every other movie in which I appeared. There were five others. Jungle Princess, Keeping Company, Timothy's Quest, I Take This Woman and Killer Dog. This is the last one that would complete my collection. I was 7 years old when I made that movie and it's a wonderful remembrance to give to my grandchildren. This is being added later... I have obtained a copy. Thanks to all that helped.
