Taking liberties with history, this kitschy biopic of Goya is a mishmash, but Ava Gardner's beauty (and her lush wardrobe)is worth thr price of admission.

Overheated melodramatics but Ava is at the height of her beauty. Beautiful color photography and sumptous sets add to the films appeal but it is still basically a soap opera.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
