Interesting facts

Bureau of Missing Persons is a 1933 American pre-Code drama film with comic overtones directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Bette Davis, Lewis Stone, Pat O'Brien and Glenda Farrell. The screenplay by Robert Presnell is based on the book Missing Men by former New York City Police Captain John H. Ayers and Carol Bird.

Production

The film's working title was Missing Persons, and Warren William was originally slated to star. Instead it became the second on-screen pairing of Davis and O'Brien, both under contract to Warner Bros. Pictures, who had appeared Hell's House the previous year.

A print of the film is held by The Library of Congress.
