The Barefoot Contessa

The world's most beautiful animal!

A washed-up filmmaker finds a shot at redemption when he spots Maria Vargas, a stunning peasant, dancing in a Madrid nightclub. Encouraged by his producer, the director persuades Maria to take a screen test and then star in his upcoming film. As the producer's possessiveness and the demands of stardom bear down on her, Maria looks for a real lover who can help her escape.
