Ava Gardner: Life Is Bigger Than the Movies (2017)

Directed by Jean-Frédéric Thibault51mDocumentary

A barefoot contessa, a screwed-up princess, an exquisite drunk, a bawdy aristocrat, a nightmare for puritanical America and the moguls of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Ava Gardner never stopped loving those she loved. She turned women green and made men sweat. And rejected with all her force the bulwark of normality.
