Customer Reviews of The Barefoot Contessa
What kinda answer is that against a 10 million dollar gross? I'd not heard anything about this Bogart film before; as such, I wasn't expecting much. What a mistaken assumption! What a wonderful though tragic film!
It's fairly rare to see a film with an intelligent script and believable characters; the Barefoot Contessa has both.
Ava Gardner is beautiful, classy, and self-assured; she has high expectations for life and is not willing to settle for less. Humphrey Bogart does well as the character we might expect: a wise and worldly director/writer--the tough guy with a heart who befriends Gardner--the woman every man wishes he could have. Edmond O'Brien is brilliant as the PR flack to two men who can buy anything--except Maria Vargas (Ava Gardner). O'Brien is the crass American, always running his mouth, always looking at the money angle.
This film takes some broad swipes against big money and high society while retaining faith in big dreams. It has some of the most true-to-life dialogue I've heard in a long time. It is an unsung treasure.
glorious love story
THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA is a glorious, rich tapestry of backstage Hollywood. Starring a stellar cast headed by Humphrey Bogart and the divine Ava Gardner, it is a ravishing delight.
Maria Vargas (Ava Gardner - SHOW BOAT, EARTHQUAKE) is a young dancer from Spain who is plucked from obscurity and taken to Hollywood to star in films. Her kind director Harry Dawes (Humphrey Bogart - THE BIG SLEEP, KEY LARGO) sees big things in her future, but Maria remains aloof and mysterious, both on the screen and off.
Maria's story is told in flashback from various viewpoints; a very effective tool in the telling of this rather predictable tale. Director/writer Joseph L. Mankiewicz weaves a colorful yet subtle portrait of a woman torn between two worlds.
The film also stars Marius Goring (THE RED SHOES), Rossano Brazzi (SOUTH PACIFIC, LITTLE WOMEN), Elizabeth Sellars, Bessie Love, Edmond O'Brien and Warren Stevens.
The DVD has a well-rendered fullscreen version of the film as well as the trailer. (Single-sided, dual-layer disc).
a great romantic and dramatic film!
This is a must see. Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner make a great romantic couple. This film is beautiful and dramatic, as well as romantic. It's in color, which is even more wonderful. Ava's costumes are gorgeous.
