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.

During one scene, a huge wave swept Garson and co-star Richard Hart along the jagged rocks of the Monterey coast, inflicting bruises, cuts and back problems on Garson that would require many surgeries and hospital visits in the following months and years.
