	One Touch Of Venus
		Kurt Weill and Ogden Nash originally wrote One Touch Of Venus, based on S.J Perelman’s book The Tinted Venus with the idea of Marlene Dietrich in the title role, she was not interested, so in the original 1943 stage production, the, role went to Mary Martin, and was played on film by Ava Gardiner.
		Venus is full of assistance, putting her arms round him in a motherly manner, letting him cuddle up to her chest, she tells him to just let himself go.
		Venus cannot understand what is worrying Rodney, he explains "We’re in a heck of a hole until Gloria turns up." This is easily fixed, by Venus’s powers, Gloria materialises, fit as a fiddle, and is shocked to find Rodney Hatch "in a hotel room, with an Actress".

		"One Touch of Venus" is one of a number of films in which Ava appears to be singing, but is actually dubbed by a professional singer.
		Ava was perfectly cast as Venus, the goddess of love, or Venus Jones, as she was known in the film after coming to life.

		Now he is free, Rodney dreams of his future happiness with Venus, in the suburbs of Ozone Heights, but she realises that this is not the life for a goddess and transforms herself back to the statue, on her museum pedestal.

	London Theatre Guide Theatre Current Reviews / One Touch of Venus 2001
		The Venus of the title is the latest artistic acquisition of Whitelaw Savory (Peter Land), that is inadvertently brought to life by his hapless barber, Rodney Hatch (Michael Gyngell) when Hatch puts the engagement ring, intended for his domineering fiancée Gloria, on the statue’s finger.
		Once released, Venus (Kim Medcalf) pursues Hatch, who having been persuaded of Venus’s delights, frightens her off with his longing for a humdrum life in a little house with a big backyard for the kiddies in Statten Island’s Ozone Heights.
		I was also impressed by Kim Medcalf, whose Venus was bright and assured, belying her professional inexperience, albeit perhaps with a voice that might seem weak in a bigger space.

	Venus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		One Touch of Venus is one of the highly forgotten of the really good musicals that I haven't technically seen because it's too forgotten to get many revivals.
		One Touch of Venus opened to critical acclaim in 1943 ("a shining delight - a musical comedy hit of major proportions [that] comes at a time when something fresh and original is sorely needed in the theatre."), and was very popular while it lasted - but O! Alas the fickle public!
		This list also shows that, despite nobody having every heard of it, One Touch of Venus is generally classed by the few who know it as one of the great classics of all musicals.

		One Touch of Venus was first created on Broadway in 1943 and is a heady combination of the talents of musician Kurt Weill, the humorist S J Perelman, and the comic poet Ogden Nash.
		The sugary overtones of Venus, played by Karen Coker, palled after a while but there was little to fault the tight production of Tim Albery, the always expert chorus of Opera North and the fine orchestral playing led by James Holmes.

		"One Touch of Venus" for those who don't know was based on a stage play made 5 years earlier (if you're bad at math that means 1943).
		Now that Venus is alive she naturally wants to spend the rest of her life with the man who is responsible but the problem lies in the fact that Eddie already has a girlfriend, Gloria (Olga San Juan) and now is wanted for stealing the statue.
		"One Touch of Venus" is not a great movie or even a great musical but it has some charm to it and some laughs and at least one great song in it.

		Louise Gold starred as Venus, for the second time, in a Lost Musicals production of One Touch of Venus, at The Royal Opera House's Lindbury Studio Theatre, on 9, 10, 16 and 17 December 2000.
		Some performances of the show overlapped with the show Mamma Mia, in which Louise Gold was playing Tanya, so she used her holiday from Mamma Mia to appear in One Touch of Venus.
		It is perhaps worth noting that ‘The Tinted Venus’, the title of F J Anstey’s book upon which this musical was based, was also the name given to a statue of the goddess by Victorian sculptor John Gibson.

	One Touch Of Venus
		The audience feels strong sympathy for Eddie and he is finally given his divine award (including a modest pay rise) when a very beautiful new store recruit called "Venus Jones" (Ava),appears in normal human form to him there.We have to assume this will eventually become another love match engineered by Mount Olympus!
		The raven-haired, green-eyed Ava Gardner, complete with the magnificent structure (bone and otherwise) is the perfect choice for the role of Venus come to life.
		Much is made of the predictability of the plot; this was the first time it was done as a sophisticated comedy, I believe.

		This is more old-fashioned than most, as One Touch Of Venus, by Ogden Nash and Kurt Weill, was written for Broadway in mid-war 1943 and can hardly be done in any other time-slot.

		One Touch Of Venus (William A Seiter, 1948, USA)
		Silly fantasy about a department store clerk who falls in love with a shop window mannequin of Venus (Ava Gardner) that comes to life that is only slightly relieved by Eve Arden playing her usual tough-dame-with-a-soft-heart character.
		It was originally a hit Broadway play though it is difficult to see on the strength of the unremarkable songs from the (admittedly tanatalizing) Kurt Weil/Ogden Nash collaboration (Gardner sings!).

		Opera North’s exhilarating and very complete staging of One Touch of Venus, in which barber Rodney Hatch has a troublesome yet ecstatic close encounter with the goddess Venus, makes some amends for the company’s disastrous production of Kurt Weill’s masterpiece Love Life.
		SJ Perelman and Ogden Nash’s libretto, which satirises conformity, the modern art world and bourgeois values, may ramble preposterously but abounds in hilariously acid exchanges and wise, witty lyrics.
		Weill’s score is pure delight, with two superb hit numbers for Venus, the smoochy Speak Low and the affectionate That’s Him, raunchy send-up Way out West in Jersey and the dark Dr Crippen extravaganza.
