6 of my favorite Ava Gardner movies...





...were reviewed on my guest post for Sophie at Waitin' On a Sunny Day.

It was quite a challenge for me to pick 6: I already had some favorites, but I just had seen her most known films. So I watched more movies, like The little hut (weird comedy), The bribe with Robert Taylor, East Side, West Side with Barbara Stanwyck and The sun also rises with Ty Power &; Errol Flynn. See which of these titles made it to the final list.

Check it here!

  4. Thank you Alias! It's always nice to read people talking enthusiastically about movies, and even more if it's about something you posted. And yeah, "Speak Low" is a lovely song! Anyway, you should thank Sophie, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have done the post :)

  5. A mi madre y a mi nos encantaba ver Venus era una mujer, la escena de la estatua cuando cobra vida y el pobre dependiente repetiéndola una y otra vez ante los agentes es unos de los mejores, para mí, momentos de la película.
    Mogambo, me encanta y la Condesa Descalza, además en esta última trabaja con H. Bogart que es un valor añadido.
    Fiesta, no me gustó demasiado y las otras que nombras no las he visto.
    Ava Gardner era una mujer bellísima que vivió muy intensamente.
    Saludos,

  7. Hola, Lola! A mí tampoco me gustó "Fiesta", la encontré monótona, por eso no la agregué a la lista final :) Y sí, para guiarme un poco vi un documental sobre la vida de Ava, y como dices, vivió muy intensamente. Gracias por visitarme y compartir tus experiencias con su filmografía :) Saludos!!
