DESIRE AFI Fest All-Night Movie Marathon: Comedies of Elegance

Description

A post-Code film brimming with “the Lubitsch touch” (i.e. sexual innuendo) and Frank Borzage’s romanticism. Marlene Dietrich, fresh out of the Von Sternberg camp, is brought charmingly down to earth. She plays a jewel thief who flees to Spain and snares good-guy Gary Cooper.
