What would "From Venus With Love" be in French? I don't trust any of the translation sites and my French is virtually non-existent.

One of seven films I'm inventing for the Weinbaum game...

Later According to a native French speaker on the [livejournal.com profile] little_details community, Bon Baisers de Vénus is the nearest idiomatic translation that has the ambiguity I want. It's not really important to the plot (it's basically a little something for background detail that may never even be used) so I'll go with it.

It is: if you wanted to be unambiguous you would say - the goddesss Venus or the planet Venus - if you're just using the name, you'd leave out the definite article.

See, for example, here or here.
