Young Sinners was a film released on May 17, 1931, directed by John G. Blystone. The screenplay was initially written by Maurine Watkins (the script filmed was William Conselman's, not Maurine's; Maurine's script is in the archives of 20th Century Fox's produced scripts); William Conselman scrapped her screenplay in favor of his own (adaptation, continuity and dialog, according to American Film Institute) based on the play Young Sinners by Elmer Harris (New York, November 28, 1929) (American Film Institute Catalog).

“I have inspected the accommodations and find them entirely satisfactory, and as for those young men, who are of appropriate ages to be my grandsons, they will not trouble me in the least.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Once the sin against God was the greatest sin, but God died, and so these sinners died as well. To sin against the earth is now the most terrible thing, and to esteem the entrails of the unknowable more highly than the meaning of the earth.”
