Comment/Synopsis

After the death of a famous film star (Ava Gardner), three men reflect back on how all their lives intertwinned after meeting her as a dancer in a seedy night club. This is a disappointing film as the characters are not really that interesting and for the most part the acting is fairly flat despite the presence of Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner.
