Oscar Winner Excels in The Barefoot Contessa Review
The Motion Picture Academy’s 1954 top screen awards sparked debate over Grace Kelly and Lady Garland, but Edmond O’Brien earns praise for his press agent role in The Barefoot Contessa. Ava Gardner portrays the sypsy dancer amid episodes of fame bondage, love, and a tragic Italian marriage, with Bogart directing efforts to avert tragedy. The film weaves subplots with a classic Hollywood pattern, yielding a worthwhile conclusion.
