TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Although Marlon Brando didn't take his role seriously--despite every effort by director Henry Koster--"Desiree" outgrossed his other 1954 film, "On the Waterfront (1954)."

Director Henry Koster was an amateur Napoleon scholar, something that Darryl F. Zanuck did not know when he assigned him to the picture.

Marlon Brando decided on doing this movie in order to work off the legal obligation he incurred after having walked away from the lead role in "The Egyptian."

Montgomery Clift turned down the part of Napoleon.

Marlon Brando's nose is faked (make-up).

Popular Dialogues

"Count Brahe: You will enjoy life in Sweden, madame. Stockholm is called the Venice of the north. Desiree Clary: [Shivering] I prefer the Venice of the south!"

"Napoleon Bonaparte: I want my family to be well established. Joseph, particularly. The rest must wait until the victorious culmination of my campaign in Italy. Desiree Clary: And you think you can do with people precisely what you want? That life is as you say it is? Napoleon Bonaparte: Have you ever heard of a thing called destiny, Désirée?"
