One Touch of Venus

on BBC Two England

The feature film starring Ava Gardner, Robert Walker with Eve Arden, Dick Haymes.

Eddie Hatch, a department store window dresser, gets rather more excitement than he bargained for when, in a moment of whimsy, he kisses a statue of Venus which comes alive with obviously amorous designs on him! Life is not made easier with the presence of a jealous fiancee and the store owner who wants his priceless statue back. This romantic comedy is based on the original stage musical by S.J. Perelman and Ogden Nash and contains three of the original songs by Kurt Weill.
