Gary Cooper, Carole Lombard & Shirley Temple in Henry Hathaway's "Now and Forever" (1934)

Carefree, irresponsible Jerry Day (Gary Cooper) and his second wife, Toni (Carole Lombard), are running up a bill at a Shanghai hotel that Jerry has no means to pay. So, Jerry hatches a scheme to swindle other guests, and the two escape. Desperate for more cash, Jerry is willing to sell the custody rights of his 5-year-old daughter Penelope from his first marriage, known as Penny (Shirley Temple), whom he has never met, to his former brother-in-law. Toni is shocked and goes by herself to Paris, while Cooper meets his daughter and is captivated by her, deciding to retain custody after all. Penny and Jerry arrive in Paris to be reunited with Toni. After selling a nonexistent gold mine to Felix Evans (Sir Guy Standing) Jerry decides to re-enter the workforce as a real estate salesman, but is not successful. Jerry meets up again with Evans, who paid with a phony check, and Evans convinces Jerry to steal a valuable necklace from Mrs. Crane (Charlotte Granville), a rich lady Penny has befriended. Mrs. Crane tells Jerry that she wants to adopt Penny, and offers to throw a party for her. During the party, Jerry spots one of Mrs. Crane's expensive necklaces lying out on her dresser and steals it. The police are called and all the guests are searched but the necklace is not found. When Penny is put to bed, she cuddles her teddy bear and discovers the necklace hidden inside. She asks Jerry if he stole it and he says no. To get her to stop crying, Toni tells Penny that it was she who took the necklace so really Jerry was telling the truth. Penny is again satisfied that her father did not lie. Jerry brings the necklace to Evans to resell it, but starts feeling guilty when Penny throws all her faith and love towards Jerry for being honest. He goes back to try to recover the necklace and threatens Evans with a gun. Evans shoots back and wounds Jerry, but Jerry kills Evans. Jerry returns the necklace to Mrs. Crane, who agrees to lie that the necklace was not stolen at all. Mrs. Crane then takes Penny off to boarding school, while Jerry, suffering from his untreated gunshot wound, and Toni say goodbye to her. Though Jerry does not want to go to a doctor lest the police be involved, he collapses as he tries to get back in the car and Toni takes him to a hospital. Lying in a hospital bed with a police officer standing nearby, Jerry ruminates that it is not so bad coming clean after all. A 1934 American Black & White romantic drama crime film directed by Henry Hathaway, produced by Louis D. Lighton, screenplay by Vincent Lawrence and Sylvia Thalberg, based on the story "Honor Bright" by Jack Kirkland and Melville Baker, cinematography by Harry Fischbeck, starring Gary Cooper, Carole Lombard, Shirley Temple, Sir Guy Standing, Charlotte Granville, Gilbert Emery, Henry Kolker, and Tetsu Komai. Shirley Temple was loaned out to Paramount by Fox Films for this, her second film at Paramount. The first film in which a stand-in (Marilyn Granas) was hired for Temple. Temple had a good rapport with the adult crew, especially Gary Cooper, who bought her several toys and made a number of sketches for her. Temple adored Cooper, who nicknamed her 'Wigglebritches'. Temple memorized every line of dialogue in this movie, and whenever Cooper forgot or fumbled his lines, Temple prompted him, much to Cooper's annoyance. During the making of the movie, Dorothy Dell, who co-starred with Temple in "Little Miss Marker" and developed a close personal friendship, died in an automobile accident. Temple was not told about this until filming started on the crying scene in the film in which her character finds out her father was lying to her about stealing the jewelry. The tears she was crying in that scene were in effect real tears. Carole Lombard was cast in replacement. Temple-fever spread with the release of the film. The studio hired a secretary to manage her fan mail, 500 letters a day, delivered in huge mail sacks. Temple sang "The World Owes Me a Living", music by Leigh Harline, lyrics by Larry Morey, a version of which also featured in a Silly Symphonies animation of "The Ant and the Grasshopper" (1934). Hathaway directed Temple in "To the Last Man" (1933), starring Randolph Scott and Esther Ralston. Despite having a memorable role in which her doll's head is shot off right in front of her, the then 5-year-old Temple was not cited in the credits. This is the only film in which Lombard and Temple appeared together. The film was originally made with a different ending, in which Jerry and Toni drive alongside the train tracks as Penny and Mrs. Crane depart on the train. Jerry succumbs to his gunshot wound, and Toni steers the car over an embankment, killing herself. The ending was changed by Paramount to match the lighter tone of the rest of the film. This sentimental drama was critically well received and popular at the box office. Six-year-old Shirley Temple steals this Depression-era comedy with her dancing, singing and cheery quips.
