Oh yes – forgot to mention we watched, “The Barefoot Contessa” this morning – not be confused with the Food Network show, this is a movie starting Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner. While it was slow at times, the characters were clearly played and there was something sooo nice and meaningful about the monologues and dialogues that are definitely missing in today’s movie world.
Ava Gardner does a great job as Maria, an earthy innocent with a really good story to back up her character and her characters quirks.. And as usual, Humphrey Bogart plays Harry Dawes with a worldliness yet sweetness that plays so well with Maria’s vulnerability. Their relationship is so well done and interesting without ever crossing the line.
I recommend this – it’s sad at times and again, you will really laugh at some of the smart and great lines the actors both had. And hell – Ava, as always, is just breathtaking as are her clothes. I really need a diet after watching that!
