As You Desire Me Overview:
As You Desire Me (1932) was a Drama - Black-and-white Film directed by George Fitzmaurice (uncredited) and produced by Irving Thalberg and George Fitzmaurice.
SYNOPSIS
Pirandello play yields the odd couple of Garbo and Von Stroheim as a woman with amnesia struggles to resume life with the husband she has forgotten. A curiosity worth seeing for the early Garbo performance.

Pirandello's play "Come tu mi vuoi", written by late 1929 premiered in Milan's Teatro de Filodrammatici on 18 February 1930.
The character of Karl Salter was loosely based on Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnár.
According to cast member Hedda Hopper, filming of some scenes ran longer than expected because Erich von Stroheim would have trouble remembering his lines.
Although Erich von Stroheim was barred from the MGM lot by studio head Louis B. Mayer and production head Irving Thalberg, he was hired for the role of Karl Salter at the insistance of Greta Garbo, who threatened to quit otherwise.
Greta Garbo was extremely protective of Erich von Stroheim during filming. He was suffering from depression and poor health, and on some occasions, she covered for him by claiming to be sick.
