The Naked Maja 03/04/25

This one is for fans of Ava Gardner — an expensive Italian production we have never seen in a decent video copy, now remastered from the original Technirama negative. Anthony Franciosa is an emotional, altruistic Francisco Goya, caught up in the court intrigues of 18th century Madrid. Neither his tempestuous romance with his rumored muse (Ava) nor the story of his famous and controversial paintings are strictly historical — but the artist was indeed investigated by (whisper) The Spanish Inquisition. Also with Amedeo Nazzari and Massimo Serato. On Blu-ray from MGM.
