I Take This Woman (1931 film)

I Take This Woman is a 1931 American pre-Code drama film directed by Marion Gering and starring Carole Lombard and Gary Cooper. The film revolves around the marriage of a socialite, Kay Dowling (Lombard), and a doctor, Buck Connors (Cooper), and the various challenges and misunderstandings they face as they navigate their vastly different social circles and expectations. The plot involves infidelity, social pressures, and ultimately, a reconciliation. Although not a major critical success at the time of its release, the film is notable for pairing two rising stars of the era and offering a glimpse into the social mores and anxieties of the early 1930s. It's also sometimes confused with a later film of the same title, released in 1940.
