Their Own Desire is a 1929 American pre-Code romantic drama film directed by E. Mason Hopper and starring Norma Shearer, Belle Bennett, Lewis Stone, Robert Montgomery, and Helene Millard.
The film was adapted by James Forbes and Frances Marion from the novel[1] by Sarita Fuller (pseudonym of Beulah Marie Dix); Lucille Newmark wrote the titles.
Shearer was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress, but lost to herself for The Divorcee.
The pool scenes in which John Cheever meets Lally Marlett for the first time were filmed at the Norconian Resort Supreme competition diving and swimming pools.
While the diving boards and three diving platforms are long gone, the two Norconian pools are still intact, though worse for wear as of 2008, in the middle of what is now the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco, California.
