As Man Desires is a lost 1925 American silent drama film directed by Irving Cummings and starring Viola Dana.

[1][2] As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] Major John Craig (Sills) knocks out Colonel Carringford (Nicholson) when he discovers Gloria Gordon (Clifford), his fiancée, has been untrue.

Carringford is then murdered by a servant and because Evelyn Beaudine (Theby), a married woman of unsavory reputation, accuses him of the crime, Craig is forced to flee from his British Army post in India.

Craig procures a fishing smack and amasses wealth from working pearl beds in the South Seas.

He tenders Gorilla Bagsley (Kennedy), a poacher a beating when he finds him annoying Pandora (Dana).
