Calling all old-movie buffs (e.g. Genesia)!

I am looking for the name of the Ava Gardner movie shown in this clip from 1:54 to 2:00 (she's in the back of a car, wearing a hat):



Any help you could give would be appreciated!

She definitely had style and beauty in spades. It's so hard to believe she was once married to Mickey Rooney of all people. confused

Nah. They got married when she was 19 and he was 21 - and divorced barely a year later. He apparently indicated later that they'd had a great sex life and she countered by saying it might have been great for him - but it wasn't for her.

She said Frank Sinatra (to whom she was married for six years in the 50s) was the love of her life. They remained friends even after their divorce.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I think Sinatra may have felt she was the great love of his life as well, but they were such a volatile combination it couldn't last.

Mia Farrow basically echoed the same sentiments.. Sinatra really had some power behind his love heart

If you will, so will I

Frank Sinatra apparently rented an apartment in New York City where he kept a shrine to Ava Gardner. Pictures of her in every room, even the washroom.

Frank would send Ava flowers all the time and Ava had a room in her house where she kept them. The instructions to the help were that they were to put the flowers in the room and let them rot until Frank sent more flowers. Then the room would be cleaned and the new flowers would be left to rot, et cetra.

Since we're recalling tales that show the depth of Frank and Ava's connection, Frank actually came close to committing suicide over her. He went as far as sticking his head in a gas oven before he came to his senses. I don't want to fall in love that hard!

Check-out,

East Side, West Side (1949) too. Ava Gardner, Barbara Stanwiyck, James Mason, and Van Heflin,... it comes on TCM from time to time. Footnote: Nancy Davis (Regan) has a small part in the movie.
