Désirée | English Full Movie | Drama History Romance

[@robertd.carver6240]

Superb historical drama. Though fictionalized, the imaginative script is based on historical fact. Desiree did live, was Napoleon's first love, and eventually became queen of Sweden. The House of Bernadotte still reigns there. The acting is pitch-perfect. So is the script. The women's gowns are gorgeous.

I find myself interested in history when caught up in the story line and remember some of what I was taught. But I wonder at how much liberty is stretched for the entertainment purposes. I’m not one to remember dates and all the names. I think my instructors were more about learning the lessons to be taken from history.

I was born, passed-baby -boomers generation, and haven't had many Brando movies watched. I wasn't sure although there was an almost certainty feeling about him, up until the waltzing scene. I found hilarious from the director to have the lady teaching him waltz. I saw him in the Godfather dancing with Conney at her wedding, he was passed 70 then and yet ....this was the golden seal on his identity. No one else has mastered this wonderful society-dance with the same ease and effortless elegance. Great movie, awesome job - thank you for it.

Marlon Brando was only 48 in the Godfather! He had makeup to make him look older.

[@ianedwards4400]

I've had a commercial copy of this film for many years. The Guys & Dolls pair comprising Jean Simmons and Marlon Brando have been my faves since I was a child. Bold, impish and daring that's what Ms. Simmons character was all about. There is pathos in her performance which she never lets slide into sentimentality. Jean excelled in a long-line of these Historical/Biblical films that included Androcles & the Lion, Young Bess, The Robe, The Egyptian. Jean never judged a role, but embraced it with all its contradictions, all its darkness and for what, ultimately, made it human. Just watch those mischievous eyes of hers, those limpid pools of darkness: how they dart about and convey a myriad of expressions . On Mr. Brando, i have already penned reams on his performances and superlative talent. And, here again, he does not disappoint!

[@leoseries]

Ahh! Jean Simmonds. My favourite actress. Don't forget her earlier roles as Ophelia to Laurence Olivier's Hamlet. As the Winsome girl singer in "The Way to the stars." The Indian girl seductress dancing in "The Black Narcissus." The scheming Cockney maid in "footsteps in the fog.)" Probably the most versatile film actress there has been or ever will be.

Swedish kings after him have been his descendants and still are. Norway and Sweden were in union from 1814 to 1905.

Brando did a better Napoleon than Joaquin Phoenix in Scott's "Napoleon". I can't imagine Napoleon as constantly serious, dour, and withdrawn similar to Joaquin's Joker character.

Absolutely loved this film. Michael Rennie nailed Bernadotte. But there were several odd things about it: Desiree's trip to Paris from Marseilles, which is several hundred miles. How did she hear about where Napoleon would be on the day she arrived? How would she know how to get there? Why didn't she know who Josephine was? Why did her brother allow her to travel all that way unaccompanied? How did Bernadotte know where to find her after she fled Mme Tallien's party?
