In this charming 1936 romantic crime comedy-drama, Marlene Dietrich stars as Madeleine de Beaupre, a sophisticated con woman who steals a string of pearls in Paris and uses American engineer Gary Cooper to get them out of France. As they navigate the Spanish border and eventually fall in love, Madeleine must confront her past and decide between her life of crime and a future with Tom. With its witty dialogue, sprightly direction, and excellent performances from both leads, "Desire" is a delightful tale of love, deception, and redemption.
