After hearing about this movie for a long time, I enjoyed watching it this evening and am glad I did. Ava Gardner is stunning as the barefoot Contessa and Humphrey Bogart is quite believable in his roll as well. This movie is what movies were known for, great acting, great plot, written well, directed well and the end results is a movie that can be enjoyed. The movie built the characters well and you really feel like you know them and care about them. I didn't see the ending coming, which is marvelous and kept my interest. The scene where they are falling in love was so romantic! I just loved it! Probably one of the most romantic scenes in any movie I have ever watched. It was like a fairy tale, but not all fairy tales end happily ever after.
