Storyline

- TriviaThis documentary first aired on TCM on August 8, 2019, part of "Summer Under the Stars" tribute to Ava Gardner.
- GoofsThe narrator in the English version mispronounces the name of the composer Richard Wagner as if it was an English name (as in Robert Wagner), rather than German. He also mutilates "Cinecittá", and puts the accent on the wrong syllable.
- Quotes
Ava Gardner: Just short of my 35th birthday, I did something I'd been threatening to do for a long time. Something that no one would believe I'd ever manage. No, it was not leaving the picture business, but it was close. I left the United States for good and all and settled in Spain.

Featured review
Rurhless portrait of beautiful Ava Gardner
An interesting and harsh portrait of Ava Gardner, from her childhood and teen age as an extraordinarily beautiful but crude rural girl with redneck accent in a tobaco farm until her late days of depressive alcoholism and B-movies. In the middle, there are short-length and troubled love affairs with celebrities, among which Frank Sinatra deserves to be highlighted (I deffinitely would love to watch a narrative film about this couple and their brutal arguments, also addressing her political colluding with status quo after Spanish Civil War and Sinatra's connections with mafia). There are also the years of USA movie productions in Europe, affairs with famous toreros, and luxurious parties among influent people under Francoist dictatorship while living in impoverished Spain, an autocratic regime which soon established close relations with the United States.
