The first of four films Constance Bennett did with Joel McCrea was one that you'd
better bring the bath towels to the theater if you saw it. I'm sure even the men had
a tear or two seeing what Connie went through.
An American nurse in London during World War I Bennett has American ace Joel McCrea and stiff upper lip British major Paul Cavanaugh after her. She
loves McCrea and can't see Cavanaugh.
But when McCrea gets shot down and goes missing in action she's very pregnant and the sympathetic Cavanaugh is ready to marry her and make her respectable.
The usual complications ensue after that and Bennett pays a heavy price for her
romances.
Born To Love fits rater neatly into that category called women's pictures. Women who worried where the next meal might come from, plunked don their nickel and could sympathize with a woman like Bennett and her complicated romantic life.
For this type the film is OK, but I doubt we'll see a remake in this century.
