'Til We Meet Again is a 1940 American romance film directed by Edmund Goulding and Anatole Litvak and starring Merle Oberon and George Brent as two doomed, star-crossed lovers. It is a remake—with new characters and some different scenes—of the 1932 film One Way Passage. 'Til We Meet Again was remade into the 1954 Mexican 3-D film El valor de vivir.

Production

The film was based on the story by Robert Lord that was the basis for One Way Passage. Lord won an Academy Award in 1933 in the category Best Writing, Original Story for the earlier film.

The same basic musical theme is used in both films. Leo F. Forbstein, music director on this film, was Vitaphone Orchestra Conductor for One Way Passage. Ray Heindorf did the orchestral arrangements.

According to David Lewis, the original producer was Mark Hellinger but he was struggling with the material so Jack Warner assigned the job of producing to Lewis. Edmund Goulding was directing and writing the script. Lewis says Goulding's script was running long so Warren Duff was brought on.

The original star was to be Norma Shearer but she wanted George Raft to co star, and Lewis was opposed to this. Shearer quit, suggesting Merle Oberon play the lead.

Goulding fell ill during shooting. Warners wanted to replace him with William Keighley but Merle Oberon did not like him as a director. Instead Anatole Litvak stepped in to finish it.
