Interesting facts
- Based on: One Touch of Venus
One Touch of Venus is a 1948 American musical romantic comedy film directed by William A. Seiter and starring Robert Walker, Ava Gardner, Dick Haymes, Eve Arden, Olga San Juan, and Tom Conway. The screenplay by Harry Kurnitz and Frank Tashlin is based on the 1943 Broadway musical with a book by S. J. Perelman and Ogden Nash, music by Kurt Weill, and lyrics by Nash. However, the film omits most of Weill's music. The actors did their own singing except for Gardner, whose singing was dubbed by Eileen Wilson. The plot is from an original 1885 novella by Thomas Anstey Guthrie.
