One Touch of Venus Facts
In January 1945, Agnes de Mille, who choreographed the 1943 Broadway musical, originally was announced to choreograph the Mary Pickford planned screen version.
The original plans for filming this property in 1945 for United Artists included Mary Martin(from the original cast) with Frank Sinatra, Clifton Webb and Bert Lahr with Sam Coslow producing for Mary Pickford . Pickford felt that only Clifton Webb had any box office pull and she was hesitant to commit two million dollars of her own money to production. After much indecision she finally sold the rights to Lester Cowan at Universal. The Universal version appeared in 1948 with Ava Gardner.
MGM loaned Ava Gardner to Universal Studios to make this movie. Universal sent her to sculptor Joseph Nicolosi to make a proper life-size statue of the goddess. Nicolosi's first statue was entirely nude, and the studio told the sculptor to go back and make a more modest goddess. Universal sent members of the press a small souvenir knockoff of the second statue as a promotional item. According to author Lee Server in his biography "Ava Gardner: Love is Nothing", Robert Walker was so infatuated with his co-star that, when he found rival Howard Duff in her dressing room, he slapped Ava. She left the studio and filming ended.
In 1995, BBC Radio broadcast a new version with Paige O'Hara in the title role.
The planned 1945 filming was to be in Technicolor.
