One Touch of Venus

ComedyFantasyMusicalRomance82 min

A window dresser’s impulsive kiss brings a statue of Venus to life, turning an ordinary day into romantic confusion and comic chaos. Ava Gardner is the Roman goddess of love, stepping down from her pedestal with serene glamour and an unexpected interest in the man who woke her. Robert Walker gives the bewildered window dresser at the center of it all, while Dick Haymes and Eve Arden add to the swirl of songs, misunderstandings, and suddenly complicated courtship.
