- 剧情:A window dresser in a department store feels a strange attraction to a mannequin in the display. One night he impulsively kisses her; she comes to life and reveals herself to be Venus, the goddess of love. e44 Written by Interesting to compare the casting in the original stage version of "One Touch" (1943-45). Directed by Elia Kazan, the Broadway play cast Kenny Baker as the confused hero, Mary Martin as Venus, and John Boles as the store owner. It looks as if two characters not important in the stage version were developed for the film: Haymes with his fine singing voice as the hero's buddy, and witty Arden as the store owner's wryly ironic secretary. Even though Mary Martin and Ava Gardner both made a big impact in playing the exquisite goddess, it's interesting to speculate that the role could have gained an additional "exotic" dimension, if a FOREIGN actress, with an exotic accent (like Hedy Lamarr) had been cast as Venus. Compare the all-American, down-home speech patterns of Mary Martin (from Texas) and Ava Gardner (from Carolina), which might not be exactly what could be expected from a Greek goddess...
