    Not everyone's cup of tea
  

*by H***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 September 2018*

This is a very old film A slight variation on the relationship between three characters pivotal at a critical time in French history. I do not particularly care for Mr. Brando. But he turns in a solid performance as the capricious Napoleon Bonaparte and cannot be faulted. Michael Rennie is superlative as Marshall Bernadotte. And Jean Simmons plays the title role with aplomb. Characterizing nicely an insignificant individual caught up in major world events.For connoisseurs of nineteenth century history and French history in particular

    Superficial and disappointing
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2018*

I bought this DVD as I love the novel Desiree by Annmarie Selinko and have read it many times. Obviously I knew a lot would have to be left out as its a long book but I'm afraid I found it a huge disappointment. The whole thing was very superficial - presumably because it would have been impossible realistically to condense such a sweeping story into an hour and a half. Napoleon always referred to Desiree as "Eugenie", which was her 2nd name. And why does she start referring to her husband as "Jean" three quarters of the way through. Also, my disc gives up the ghost when Desiree is with Napoleon before he abdicates and is sent to st. Helena. Does the film end there? I don't know. Perhaps it was because I am so familiar with the book that I found the film so underwhelming. Deeply disappointed.

    Classic oldie
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2013*

Although 'Desiree' is now dated in style and technicolour, and the acting by Marlon Brando as Napoleon is rather stiff, Jean Simmons brings the whole story to life with her irresistible charm and enthusiasm in the eponymous lead role. I bought the film because I loved the original novel by Anne-Marie Selinko about Napoleon's first love, Desiree Clary, and I love Jean Simmons. I was not disappointed. There were some unexpected pleasures such as Elizabeth Sellars as Desiree's sister Julie, and Michael Rennie was dashing and attractive as General Bernadotte. This is a real romance and Desiree really did become Queen of Sweden (despite her early dislike of the cold north) and establish the Norwegian royal dynasty. A fascinating piece of history and despite some obvious flaws in stilted dialogue and some of the acting, I enjoyed it thoroughly. A good matinee with chocolates, especially for the older generation. It reminded me of its contemporary, 'War and Peace' and Jean Simmons was every bit as good in 'Desiree' as Audrey Hepburn in 'War and Peace' - in fact I would say she was better!
