It's surprising how fast you can go downhill when you begin to feel sorry for yourself.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended the PACKED Lobotomy Room film club presentation of ultra stylish romantic comedy Desire (1936) at Fontaine’s on 15 February 2024! What a perfect conclusion to “Valentine’s Week!” I suspect everyone present has a raging crush on both Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper now (assuming they didn’t have one already). Some final thoughts (and stuff I really should have included in my introduction!):

If you were wondering whether Cooper and Dietrich had “intimate knowledge” of each other – the answer is yes! The duo famously had a fling when they made the movie Morocco (1930) together. I’m unsure if they resumed their affair during production of Desire six years later – but their sexual chemistry was genuine!

I was wrong! I assumed that any time we saw Dietrich and Cooper “in Europe” it was probably Californian locations masquerading as Paris or the Spanish riviera (and let’s face it – there was loads of rear projection whizzing past every time they got behind a car!), but according to Wikipedia, “The film was shot at Paramount Studios and at the Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, California and, unusual for its time, on location in France and Spain.”

Desire is truly a movie to luxuriate in. Those lavish production values! The Art Deco art design right down to the last detail (note those incredible glass cups Dietrich sips from every time she drinks coffee)!

Speaking of which: Dietrich travels with a modest amount of luggage but seems to have an infinite wardrobe of spectacular Travis Banton creations!

I love British character actress Zeffie Tilbury’s guest star appearance as criminal gang boss lady “Aunt Olga” towards the end!

Remember – the Lobotomy Room club is third Thursday of every month, so the next installment is 21 March 2024. I’ll announce the featured movie soon!
