Interesting facts

  • Based on: Lost Ecstasy

I Take This Woman is a 1931 American pre-Code romance film directed by Marion Gering and starring Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard.

Production

I Take This Woman marked the film debut of Russian-born director Marion Gering, who had previously directed stage plays.

Produced under the working titles Lost Ecstasy, Rodeo Romance, Half Angel, and In Defense of Love, the film was ultimately titled I Take This Woman by Paramount studio heads in order to "emphasize the romance rather than the western setting, and reflect more of the boy's role than the girl's".

Cooper and Lombard reportedly had an affair during the filming.
