"I was never happy with the (American) title.
Unfortunately, there was a picture made in 1929 called Dark Angel,
and we could never get a waiver on it. That's was why. It prevented
us from releasing it in the U.S. theatrically under the original
title." Executive producer Mark Damon, Chaiman of MDP

"Men of War (1994), an action film
starring Dolph Lundgren, began its film life as A Safe
Place. Sayles's original screenplay was about "a
guy who's a mercenary. He runs into Stone Age people, and they
seem pacifistic. He starts rethinking his life, and decides to
defend the place, and of course there's a big fight at the end"
(Aufderheide Cineaste 15). The film's credits now include
two screenwriters, Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris. While Sayles's
story line is still evident, the film itself is a testosterone
dream. Now the film stands as a weak copy of John Irvin's Dogs
of War (1980). Many of the actors in the film, including
Don Harvey, Anthony John Denison, Tom Wright, and Kevin Tighe,
have worked with Sayles in the past. But the film lacks the humor
of the old New World picture reunions." from the book
John Sayles, Filmmaker, by Jack Ryan, McFarland &
Co, 1998
