The story centers around a department store statue of Venus, the goddess of love, which comes to life after a store employee, Eddie Hatch, played by Robert Walker, kisses it. The vivacious Ava Gardner plays Venus, who is transported into the modern world of 1940s New York City.
"One Touch of Venus" is characterized by its lighthearted and humorous exploration of the clash between mythology and contemporary society. As Venus navigates the bustling city, she attracts the attention of various characters, including Eddie Hatch and the store's owner, Whitfield Savory, portrayed by Tom Conway.
The film explores themes of love, desire, and the idea of an idealized romantic partner. Ava Gardner's performance as Venus is charming and playful, capturing the character's innocence and allure as she experiences the modern world for the first time.
The musical numbers in the film add to its charm, with songs like "Speak Low" becoming popular standards. The film's costume design and art direction contribute to its whimsical atmosphere.
"One Touch of Venus" received mixed reviews upon its release, with some critics praising its imaginative premise and Ava Gardner's performance, while others found fault with its execution. It is considered a lesser-known entry in Ava Gardner's filmography.
While the film may not be as well-remembered as some other classic romantic comedies, it is appreciated by fans of romantic and fantastical storytelling. "One Touch of Venus" is celebrated for its unique premise and the enchanting performance of Ava Gardner as the mythical Venus brought to life in a modern world.
