Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Desire is a 1936 film directed by Frank Borzage, starring Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich.Dietrich plays Madeleine, a jewel thief. After executing a clever scam and absconding from Paris with a pearl necklace worth 2.2 million francs, Madeline flees for the border with Spain ahead of the police. Also heading for Spain is Tom (Cooper), an American auto engineer on vacation. A Meet Cute near the border is followed by Madeline slipping the pearls into Tom's coat to avoid being caught with them at customs. After they make it into Spain Madeline steals his car, only to realize that Tom's coat was in his suitcase, which he kept. Tom for his part wants to find the lady who stole his car, and eventually tracks her down to the sea coast resort of San Sebastián. Naturally, romantic sparks fly.The part of Carlos, Dietrich's partner in crime, was originally supposed to be played by Dietrich's Real Life boyfriend John Gilbert. Unfortunately Gilbert had a heart attack brought on by chronic alcoholism soon before production was supposed to start, and was immediately replaced. Shortly thereafter Gilbert had another heart attack and died.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Chekhov's Gun: The ridiculous ad on the spare tire of Tom's automobile. Tom later spotting the spare tire on the back of a hay cart lets him know where Madeline crashed the car. | |

Conflict Ball: It's not really clear why Carlos doesn't simply take the pearls himself and get out of town, rather than insisting Madeline dump Tom and come with him. | |

As You Know: The opening where Tom is practicing his speech to his boss rather neatly establishes that Tom is an engineer from the Detroit auto industry who wants a vacation. | |

Breach of Promise of Marriage | |
Desire (1936) / int_caa05cf | comment |
Breach of Promise of Marriage: Alluded to in a Getting Crap Past the Radar moment. Tom says that he grows on people. As an example he cites one girl back home, who didn't like him at first, but he was persistent, and he grew on her, until..."She sued me." | |
