Hi,
Tomorrow at 8:00PM Eastern, 5:00PM Pacific, "Desiree" (1954) is playing on TCM.
Starring Jean Simmons and Marlon Brando, it is actually featured as part of Merle Oberon's month of movies.
Merle plays Empress Josephine.
I was part of her party at the premier and enjoyed her performance very much. Although it isn't considered a great movie, it did have its moments - and Merle is pretty much the best thing in it.
Later, I tried to start a campaign for her to be nominated for a Supporting Oscar, but she wouldn't hear of it, as she thought it would diminish her 'star' status...
I intend to watch it tomorrow as I haven't seen it in decades..
