Desire Me Overview:
Desire Me (1947) was a Drama - Romance Film directed by Victor Saville and Jack Conway and produced by Arthur Hornblow Jr..
SYNOPSIS
Before being released, this remake of the German film Homecoming (1928) endured a recasting of the leads, directoral switches, and an 18-month stint on the shelves of MGM's vault. The final product is somewhat understandably choppy. Garson stars as a woman who has unknowingly betrayed her husband, Mitchum, whom she thought had died in WWII with Hart, the man her husband had helped escape from a POW camp. Mitchum returns to reclaim his wife, resulting in a deadly confrontation between the two men. Cukor shot most of this though he asked for his name to be removed from the credits.

It took Greer Garson 125 takes to enunciate the word "No" to the director's satisfaction. Co-star Robert Mitchum claimed later that this incident was when he first stopped taking Hollywood seriously.
Film historians tend to cite this film (regarded as the worst film made by MGM to that time) as the point where Loew's Inc. chairman Nicholas Schenck lost confidence in Louis B. Mayer's leadership. Schenck would soon bring producer Dore Schary back to the studio from RKO and groom him as Mayer's replacement.
