The Crew (1935 film)

The Crew (French: L'Équipage) is a 1935 French war drama film directed by Anatole Litvak and starring Annabella, Charles Vanel, Jean Murat and Jean-Pierre Aumont. It was shot at the Joinville Studios in Paris and on location at an airfield in Mourmelon-le-Petit. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Lucien Aguettand and Lucien Carré. It is also known by the alternative title Flight Into Darkness.

The film is based on the 1923 novel of the same title by Joseph Kessel, which had previously been made into a 1928 French silent film The Crew. Litvak remade his own film as The Woman I Love for his first Hollywood production in 1937.
