Now and Forever is a 1934 American drama film directed by Henry Hathaway. The screenplay by Vincent Lawrence and Sylvia Thalberg was based on a story by Jack Kirkland and Melville Baker. The film stars Gary Cooper, Carole Lombard, and Shirley Temple in a story about a criminal going straight for his childs sake. Temple sang The World Owes Me a Living. The film was critically well received. Temple adored Cooper who nicknamed her Wigglebritches Windeler 140. This is the only film in which Lombard and Temple appeared together.

Temple was loaned out to Paramount by Fox Films for 3,500 a week in what would be her second movie at Paramount. It would also be the first movie in which a standin Marilyn Granas was hired for Temple. Temple had a good rapport with the adult crew, especially Gary Cooper, who bought her several toys and made a number of sketches for her. During the making of the movie, Dorothy Dell, who costarred with Temple in Little Miss Marker and developed a close personal friendship with her, died in an automobile accident. Temple was not told about this until filming was started on the crying scene in the movie in which her character finds out her father was lying to her about stealing the jewelry. The tears she was crying in that scene were in effect real tears.The New York Times thought the film a sentimental melodrama and a pleasant enough entertainment. Temple was highly praised for her performance. ........
