Movie Reviews of The Barefoot Contessa

Movie Review: really disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars

I thought the screenplay was really thick. The lines were unnatural, and too philosophical.

Movie Review: AVA SHOULD HAVE KEPT HER SHOES ON
Summary: 1 Stars

.....The popularity of this movie illustrates to me just how loyal fans are to their idols in spite of the many flaws in this long and boring movie.

.....If Hollywood was going to make a movie to showcase an actresses bare feet they should have at least used an actress with pretty feet. Ava was a beautiful woman but her feet were not her most attractive asset. I have seen most of Ava's movies and this was by far her most wooden performance, far worse than The Killers and Mogambo. Ava didn't get many oppertunities to act, she got the typical Hollywood treatment of a glamor girl, an expensive wardrobe and good lighting to highlight her beauty. She made one movie that is worth owning if you are a collector. Her performance as Gregory Pecks love interest in "On the Beach".

.....Edumond O'brien was a good supporting actor who could occasionally carry a movie, DOA, THE KILLERS but his role in this movie was so brief he was forgettable. Bogart was at the end of a long distinguished career and he just looked tired.

.....The movie was too long and boring, after awhile I began to wonder why I should care about the characters. Ava could have used her statue as a stand in and I would have hardly noticed and the topper was Rossano Brazzi as the Continental lover with damaged goods telling his bride after the wedding that he could never deliver. If Maria would have shot this fool in the head after such a betrayal I might have made sense of the movie.

Movie Review: Amazon is now shipping its movies in an envelope
Summary: 1 Stars

Amazon is now shipping its movies in an envelope.

The DVD case often arrives bent. The disc comes loose and scratches.

If you keep sending it back, eventually you will get one in good shape.

Movie Review: Not Much Better Than Beat The Devil
Summary: 1 Stars

I have always been a big fan of boggies, but some of his films were just plain bad, this is one of them. a real pot-boiler of a soap opera that will leave you saying .... so what ?
