He also appeared in Selznick's "Since You Went Away" (1944), in which he and his wife portrayed doomed young lovers during World War II. By that time, Jones' affair with Selznick was common knowledge, and Jones and Walker separated in November 1943, in mid-production. The filming of their love scenes was torturous as Selznick insisted that Walker perform take after take of each love scene with Jones. She filed for divorce in April 1945. "Since You Went Away" was one of the most financially successful movies of 1944, earning over $7 million.
