The Barefoot Contessa is a 1954 drama film written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz about the life and loves of fictional Spanish sex symbol Maria Vargas. It stars Humphrey Bogart, Ava Gardner, and Edmond O'Brien. The film focuses on social positioning and high-powered politics within the world of film and high society. According to Wikipedia (they provide footnotes to sources) The Barefoot Contessa is considered one of Mankiewicz's most glamorous "Hollywood" films, and one of the most glamorous of Golden Hollywood, but it was produced out of Cinecittà Studios in Rome. I watched it free on Tubi.
Those plants do love wandering! Nice tea cups, too. A friend has invited me to a tea party tomorrow afternoon - help! I wonder if they will serve coffee, too..... Valerie
we have a plant that’s escaping the pot by climbing up the strings that suspend it from the porch ceiling. It has twined all around the hangers. Very neat, sort of like yours. best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I miss my pothos. Sadly, mine died. I love your tea cups and saucers. I have to buy one for the High Tea, since I don't have a lovely one like both of yours.
I've never heard of that film, but I have heard of The Barefoot Contessa, a cooking show on PBS. The film sounds great. Thanks for sharing your patio and tea cups with us for T this Tuesday, dear friend.
My pothos has been walking this summer too. That movie does sound glamorous. I haven't seen it, but I've heard that title before. I may have to add it to my list of someone to watch movies. Hope you had a super T day Nita.
I am old enough to remember the release of this film but wasn't old enough at the time to go and see it. I have since seen it on TV. I love your pretty teacups...they'd be great with coffee in them. Belated Happy T Day , Chrisx
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.

Very pretty tea cups. I chuckled at the potential "stories" of your wandering pothos.
ReplyDelete...that's what pothos does.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never seen that movie. Not really a Bogart fan. Send a little steamy weather here. It’s a little cool for a beach day. - CJ
ReplyDeleteI would want to pass on the heat but your patio might entice me. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if I have seen this one or not. Looks vaguely familiar, though.

ReplyDeleteOh this is a really good movie. I love seeing your traveling pothos and your tea cups are lovely. Have a wonderful day today.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that in forever ages! Now when I think of the Barefoot Contessa, I think of Ina Garten!
