Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Switzerland

The Other Love is a 1947 American film noir drama romance film directed by Andre DeToth and starring Barbara Stanwyck, David Niven, and Richard Conte. Written by Ladislas Fodor and Harry Brown based on the story "Beyond" by Erich Maria Remarque, the film is about a concert pianist who is sent to a sanatorium in Switzerland to treat a serious lung illness.

Production

Producer David Lewis bought the rights to Erich Maria Remarque's Arch of Triumph and sold it to Enterprise Studios. As part of this deal Enterprise bought the fights to another story of Remarque, an outline, which became The Other Love.

Lewis said Stanwyck "was letter perfect at all times, and knew exactly what she was doing, but others were not. This caused us to replace Robert Stack with Richard Conte in the third lead. Stanwyck also had a habit of reducing dialogue to its essential elements, and since Harry Brown, who had done dialogue work on the script, needed a kind of rhythm for best effect, it hurt his work badly."
