The Woman I Love

The Woman I Love aka Escadrille and The Woman Between is a 1937 American 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 Litvaks Hollywood directorial debut was a remake of his French film LEquipage, which was, in turn, based on Joseph Kessels novel of the same name. This was the last film for actor Colin Clive and was released after his death in 1937.

Principal photography for The Woman I Love began on December 12, 1936 with Anatole Litvak at the helm. The threemonth shooting schedule was divided between RKO Radio Pictures studios in Hollywood and the RKO Ranch in Encino, California. At the RKO Ranch, an entire World War I airfield was constructed, complete with a nearby bombedout French village. Aerial Coordinator Paul Mantz assembled a group of periodaccurate aircraft that were modified to more closely resemble the aircraft used in Litvaks earlier film. Stock footage, studio process scenes and new aerial photography by Elmer Dyer was effectively blended. Filming wrapped at the end of February 1937. NThe Woman I Love generally received good reviews but was unable to generate much interest at the boxoffice, with a reported loss of 266,000. Frank Nugent in his review for The New York Times called the film ... a rather turgid wartime triangle ... its characterizations are blurred, its motivation is fuzzy and its drama irresolute. ........
