'Til We Meet Again is a 1940 romance film directed by Edmund Goulding and Anatole Litvak and starring Merle Oberon and George Brent as two doomed, star-crossed lovers.

Dan leaves the bar and is promptly handcuffed by Lieutenant Steve Burke of the San Francisco police.

Burke has spent a year chasing Dan, a convicted murderer who jumped off a train on his way to San Quentin to be hanged.

When she collapses, the ship's doctor learns of her fatal heart condition, but she plans to keep going "around the little world."

When she learns of Dan's predicament, she keeps a smitten Steve occupied and secretly empties his gun of bullets.

The next morning in San Francisco, the assistant purser tips a newspaper reporter that Dan spent a lot of time with Joan.

Lord won an Academy Award in 1933 in the category Best Writing, Original Story for the earlier film.

Leo F. Forbstein, music director on this film, was Vitaphone Orchestra Conductor for One Way Passage.

Variety staff praised the film, observing that although it was a remake, it "still has plenty of sock left" and that the two leads did "an excellent job.

Oberon's sincere and eye-filling performance equals that of her predecessor in the role, while Brent comes within at least a shade of Powell's superb portrayal.

"[3] The New York Times critic Benjamin Crisler disagreed, writing, "It may be that quite a number of people, touched by the synthetic tragedy of it, will mistake ''Til We Meet Again' for art, but the fact remains that it is just a very sad remake of 'One Way Passage'".
