The Barefoot Contessa

Several men gather at the funeral of Maria vargas (Ava Gardner), a Spanish woman who, from humble beginnings as a dancer, ended up being a Hollywood actress and finally a countess. Movie director Humphrey Bogart recalls how he made her a star, PR agent Edmond O'Brien remembers her doomed romance with a millionaire, while her aristocratic husband (Rossano Brazzi) contemplates the events that destroyed their marriage. Offbeat satirical drama, co-starring Marius Goring and Valentina Cortese. Not as good as writer-director Joseph L Mankiewicz's earlier hit All About Eve, but still a treat
