“DESIREE” Continued "Desiree” is replete with emotionally dramatic scenes that will linger long in the memory of everyone who views this stirring love story. To Na- women were but a means to an end. . . to acquire greater influence or to satisfy a seemingly endless passion to possess every beauty on whom his eyes fell. Above, Napoleon shows off the son his second wife, Marie-Louise, gave him. Josephine (right) gave him power, the opportunity to establish himself and go on to the fulfillment that was never to come of dominating the world. But, she could not give him a son, so he divorced her to marry Marie-Louise. However, his heart always yearned for the girl he jilted. . .Desiree. Though it was at the announcement of Napoleon’s and Josephine’s en- gagement that Desiree’s world crashed, she became a close friend of the dis- illusioned and ill-fated "toast of Paris” who made the ambitious Corsican forget the love-sick girl from Marseilles. Another closeup of Marlon Brando as Napoleon, who divorced one of the most scintillating women in the world; who married one of its dullest, and never wedded the one beauty he truly loved. Napoleon. . .a man whose name men whispered in terror, cheered in triumph. . . and cursed in hatred. Only Marlon Brando could portray such a man. . . a man who made his own rules. . . and broke them. . . a man brilliant, bold-eyed and passionate. Page 15A
