I WANT THIS!!


I need help! I've red the book a million times (at least!), and I love it (obviously).
BUT. I've been searching desperately for this movie, and it seems like it's nowhere to be found in Denmark - or on eBay even! Does anybody know where I can get it?

Do I have to search through every DVD-store next time I'm in London/Berlin/Madrid? Would that even bring me anywhere nearer to this must-see classic?

Help me, please. And bear with me on my English skills.

Your English skills seem fine to me. There are Desiree DVDs available from private sellers on the main amazon.com site. Here's the link:

I am also an addicted fan of the novel. Is this movie adaptation any good?

It is quite good. I read the book a number of years ago and loved this version.

Originally I read it because I discovered that she's an ancestor of mine.

I really like the movie as an adaptation of the book.
They pretty much left out everything that happens with Desirée after Napoleon's death, so we don't get to see her being officially crowned Queen Desideria of Sweden, but the movie is pretty faithful to the book and the actors, especially Brando, Oberon and Simmons are terrific.
They released it on DVD here in Germany a few years ago with decent quality and English language track, so you might look for that one or order it on the German amazon.de

Try ioffer dot com. I found lots of unavailable old movies in that website. The sellers are very reliable and even send new copies in case something is wrong with the copy you bought.
I can strongly recommend this website for hard to get movies.

its a really hard movie to get a hold of, i found it on blockbuster instant watch, but had to pay about $14 for it. i liked this movie a lot. i think its rather underrated.

This film is now available on a Zone free Blu-ray disc from Screen Archives. The BRD is part of the Twilight Time collection and is very expensive and top quality.
