Of Love and Desire (1963)

Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Richard Rush
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

American Steve Cochran falls for wealthy nymphomaniac Merle Oberon on his first day on the job in Mexico. Her half-brother plots to split them up, partly to save Cochran from hearing the truth about his new love, and partly so he can have her for himself. Oberon has the predictable breakdown and attempted suicide. It's desperate melodrama played out on beautiful Mexico locations, though it's hard to tell on the poor quality Fox transfer.
