One Touch of Venus still

One Touch of Venus is a 1948 American black-and-white romantic musical comedy film starring Robert Walker, Ava Gardner, Dick Haymes, and Eve Arden. Directed by William A. Seiter, the Universal-International release was based on the 1943 Broadway musical of the same name, book written by S. J. Perelman and Ogden Nash, with music composed by Kurt Weill (lyrics by Nash). However, the film omits most of Weill's music. The actors did their own singing, except for Ava Gardner (Venus) whose singing was dubbed by Eileen Wilson. The plot is from an original 1885 novella by Thomas Anstey Guthrie.
