Look I don't care this isn't a cinematic masterpiece but it was so delightful and wonderful and Ava Gardner is just so stunning and definitely a new crush for me she truly is the goddess of love

Okay I hate to say it but this was kind of bad, though it is interesting seeing Robert Walker in another role completely different than Bruno. None of the characters felt like they had that much to them. I do love Ava Gardner but I’m not a huge fan of her roles where she’s just “beautiful woman.” I thought Molly was fine but the rest of the characters are just boring to me.

love this genre of film of casting beautiful actresses as greek goddesses, like yeah, you’re right, Ava Gardener is too beautiful to be human.

I’m the gayest man alive and I don’t think even I would be able to rebuff Ava Gardner’s advances like that
