The Woman I Love
The Woman I Love (also known as Escadrille and The Woman Between) is a 1937 American drama film about a romantic triangle involving two World War I fighter pilots and the wife of one of them. It stars Paul Muni, Miriam Hopkins, and Louis Hayward. Anatole Litvak's Hollywood directorial debut was a remake of his French film The Crew, which was, in turn, based on Joseph Kessel's 1923 novel of the same name.
Plot
In World War I France, Lt. Jean Herbillion (Louis Hayward) is watching a musical in Paris, and a lady who calls herself Denise (Miriam Hopkins) sits next to him. The play is interrupted by an air raid and the theatre is evacuated, but Denise is knocked out in the audience panic, and Jean stays with her in the orchestra pit until she comes to. They spend the evening together, where he reveals he is hours away from joining a squadron. She agrees to meet him at his morning train, and as they exchange mailing addresses, she cautions him to mail her by General Delivery as she claims to be moving, and when he announces his division, she seems to recognize it but does not let on to him.
