Born to Love (film)

Born to Love is a 1931 American pre-Code melodrama film, directed by Paul L. Stein from an original screenplay by Ernest Pascal.

It starred Constance Bennett, Joel McCrea and Paul Cavanagh in a lovers' triangle set in London during World War I.

During an air raid, she meets a young American Aviator, Captain Barry Craig, who is enjoying a brief leave from his duties.

It is not long before Doris receives notice that her lover has been shot down behind enemy lines and is presumed dead.

[5][4] The film received mixed reviews, Film Daily calling it, "A commonplace and inadequately motivated yarn ...",[6] while Mordaunt Hall of The New York Times enjoyed it somewhat better, applauding the acting, directing and story, describing it as "... a smooth and rather attractive entertainment, remarkable chiefly for its generally adult outlook on things and for a certain quiet restraint in its more tempestuously dramatic moments.
