One Touch of Venus is a 1948 film directed by William A. Seiter, starring Robert Walker and Ava Gardner. It is based on the Broadway musical of the same name written by Kurt Weill but omits most of the music and thus got poor reviews.
In 1945, Mary Pickford announced that she would produce a film version of this musical with the Broadway cast, including Mary Martin, filmed in Technicolor, directed by Gregory La Cava, and released by United Artists. However, Martin got pregnant and Pickford sold the rights to Lester Cowan at Universal in August 1947. Ann Ronell, Cowan's wife, wrote the additional music that replaced much of Kurt Weill's music.
