In BAREFOOT CONTESSA is a picture of the recovery in the movie goddess, and I am sure many a tale newly discovered talent was ending, as he. Never for a moment I was convinced Gardner character in a modest beginning. It is a movie star with a moment she appears on the screen. This is the first movie I have ever seen with Miss Gardner, and I must say, it blew my socks off. Not only is she stunning, it is quite an actress, and. As I am also a big fan of Bogie ’s watching BY BAREFOOT CONTESSA afternoon was very well spent.

This is a story about what makes those of us who we dreamed of joy money and fame to take a step back and reconsider our ideas about a good life. The film starts with, “opening” Maria Vargas (Gardner), a young, beautiful and talented dancer from Spain. Wall Street tycoon Kirk Edwards (Stevens) decided to become a Hollywood producer, and he needs the influx of new conditions for the launch of its new enterprise. He sends his right hand man / slave PR guy Oscar Muldoon (O’Brien) return to Mary dressing room to convince her to meet with him. He had no luck, so Edwards requires that Harry Dawes (Bogart), an on-wagon after a successful writer / director, go talk to her. Harry does not like taking orders from anyone, but these days he has very little chance left. He meets Maria, who surprisingly knows who he is, and convinces her at least talk to Edwards and make samples. What she received lose? Well, since the film takes place mostly in flashback, beginning at her funeral, apparently all.

She immediately antipathy Edwards, who sees it as nothing, but rather face the potential to make him a lot of money. This is not easy, but Harry could convince her to take a chance. What girl could lose the dream become a star? Harry and Maria understand each other and form a fast friendship. It took only 3 films make international sensation Maria, loved by the crowd, but not its producer. She refuses to play the Hollywood game, and the parties will premiere with Harry and Jerry (seller), his girlfriend. Although Mary likes many aspects of his new life, she is not very happy. All she is looking for something to love it, and so far, all it has been men who attempt its own. The only person it seems, can trust and confide in a Harry. When her father murder her mother, in the studio firmly that she stay away. The publicity only hurt her career. However, they could not be more wrong. The way Maria favoured her father only makes it more popular. Tired Edwards pushy ways, it jumps from the pan into the fire goes through with South American magnate Alberto Bravano (Goring).

Though he takes her, and she does not allow him to possess her physically. There are relations of convenience - she is a defender, and he gets to be known as the man dating movie goddess Maria Vargas. This mismatch from the start and that eventually explodes in Bravano in person. Although during the visits, she meets her dream man, Vincenzo graph Torlato-Favrini (Brazzi), a man with class, who respects her as a person. For the first time in her life, she falls deeply in love, and looks forward to its future. After a brief novel, he asked her to marry him. On the day of her wedding is the happiest day in her life. That is, until Vincenzo her dream of destroying their future. After deep, passionate kiss, he tells her it got secret. Although he loves her with all my heart to, because of an old war injury, he could not love her … never.

After returning from the honeymoon is very disappointing, Maria confides in Harry about her newly discovered situation, and its plan to fix it. Vincenzo always wanted heir, it is the last in its line, and Maria is going to give him. She is pregnant, and when Felix understands he will be his father, it is certain that all will work out. Harry is not convinced. Vincenzo is a man of great pride, who will not take over another man sleeping with his wife or child-rearing that is not his. He knows Maria has misjudged her new husband. It follows from it in the rain, but too late to save her. Vincenzo also followed her and shot both her and her lover, before Maria was able to explain. Seeing that he had enough pain, Harry decides not to do worse, giving him more Mary plan. It was a week with the rain still coming down, Harry said farewell to Mary for the last time. A woman who lived in the life of the princess, but did not find her prince.

I did not expect to be drawn into the story that I was. In fact, I could not stop watching it, even if you know that she dies in the end. Bogart and Gardner simply mesmerizing even when playing characters that are far from perfect. Their friendship is genuine and is the essence of the film. Maria This story was told from the point-of-view of Harry and Oscar. I really liked the movie uses voice behind and flash. He made me feel like I had to get a real story of their lives, like I was special trustee to the men. The minute Gardner is on the screen, she grabs you and refuses to let go. If you like Hollywood success / failure stories is certainly one to watch.
