Summary: One Touch of Venus
Comment: I just watched my newly acquired black and white VHS of "One Touch of Venus," a movie I first saw while in grammar school years ago and never forgot. The entire cast is wonderful and perfectly matched and, of course, there could never be another Venus like Ava Gardner - a role made for her. You can feel Eddie's frustration on wanting her to return to the gods so that he can resume a normal life again, but at the same time falling in love with her and wanting her to stay. A most delightful, endearing comedy filled with touching moments, and bringing you back to yesteryear when movie screens were filled with talent and class - a true classic. Recommended for all.

Summary: Zeus meets Ava Gardner
Comment: What a treasure this movie is. Ava Gardner was never so beautiful. When she becomes a real life Venus, it is like watching a real life goddess, which Ava was. The music is beautiful. When I first saw this movie, I think I was around ten years old, and I have remembered it forever. At the end, when Zeus calls Venus home, and then when she comes back as "Venus Jones," I still cry when she meets Robert Walker in the department store. I own the video but why is this fabuluous not on DVD?

Summary: Ah Venus!
Comment: I'm not as well spoken as the previous reviewers, still, I grew up with this movie and watched it every time I saw it listed on TV. In fact, I'm always looking for a black and white copy I can afford to buy. It is just one of my favorite all time movies. I love the characters and most of the actors - Eve Arden being my favorite by far and Ava looking so gorgeous, as well as Walker looking so vulnerable, confused and frustrated. It's a fun time - 90 minutes or so of losing yourself in a far out comedic love story. I enjoyed the music and I'm one who tires of musicals after awhile - this one did not bore me. Dick Haymes' singing is a joy. I recommend it highly to anyone - even the more serious curmudgeons who feel they might not like it.

Summary: Wonderful Comedy!
Comment: A delightful romantic fantasy made even more so by Eve Arden as the wise-cracking secretary. This was, seemingly, the "inspiration" for the so-so 1987 movie, MANNEQUIN. Stick with the original! You won't be disappointed.
