Name the pre-1970 film

Now and Forever

[MilesArcher]

You are correct, Starliteyes.  "Now And Forever" starred Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard.  The child was a very young Shirley Temple.  Here is a clip:

 

 

You're up next, Starlit.

[starliteyes]

A young boy skips school because he hates it and refuses to buckle under the pressure his father puts on him to become a postal worker.

[starliteyes]

Several years later and all grown up, he wanders the globe drifting from job to job.

[starliteyes]

Eventually he ends up working in a tobacconist's shop in South Africa, and it i  there that he meets the daughter of a British admiral.

[starliteyes]

They are obviously attracted to each other right from the start, but because she is engaged to a rather dull man that her socially conscious parents approve of, they begin seeing each other on the sly.

[starliteyes]

Film is a pre-Code and the first of 5 films the two stars made together.

[starliteyes]

The female star had been a child actress, making her Broadway debut at the age of 8.  In movies, she was usually cast as the nice girl.

[starliteyes]

Since it has been a week and no one has taken a stab at this, I'll just reveal the answer.  The movie was Lovers Courageous (1933), starring Robert Montgomery and Madge Evans.  I'm guessing this was just a little too obscure.  Anyway, let the game continue!

Open thread.

Thank you Starliteyes.

A woman runs into her ex-husband.  She is with the new man in her life.  The ex tries to ruin her relationship.

 

[Arturo]

The first husband brings a girl he just met and meets up with the ex-wife and her new husband in order to make the ex-wife jealous.

[Arturo]

The exwife becomes jealous.  Meantime, the 2 men send each other practical joke gifts.

[Terrence1]

Arturo, can you give us another clue?

[Arturo]

The new husband has to leave the resort town leaving behind his wife with her first husband.  They get reacquainted and realize how much they still love each other.

[Arturo]

Here's a different type of clue.   The two stars costarred in 5 movies together, and even dated, although that might have been more for publicity.

[Arturo]

The two stars costarred in 4 romantic comedies and one historical epic.  They could have made at least two more movies, but she balked at playing leading lady to boost his first starring role, a historical epic, and later, turned down another romantic comedy, wanting more substantial fare.

[Arturo]

He was a relative newcomer in his early 20s when they first filmed together. Although only a couple of years older,  she had been around for nearly a decade.
