Today We Live

Directed by Howard Hawks and Richard Rosson 113 mins. (1933)

Gary Cooper - Bogard

Two lovers are living together and are not married and they hesitantly explain this to her brother. They had made a promise as children to get married when they grew up, but they “didn’t wait.” It’s an important plot point as it drives Cooper’s actions when he discovers that Crawford and Young are living in sin.

Also starring Joan Crawford, Robert Young, Franchot Tone and Roscoe Karns

The only film pairing of Joan Crawford and Gary Cooper. Contemporary news stories of the day reported Crawford insisted on Cooper as her co-star. Cooper had to be borrowed from Paramount for this picture. Joan Crawford met Franchot Tone while working on this picture. They would marry two years later (her second, his first) - and divorce in 1939.
