While the story is a bit odd, it is interesting. The film is very stylish and Brigitte looks absolutely fabulous! Besides, it is better than most of what Hollywood dishes out even today. But, I suppose having the gorgeous Brigitte grace our TV screens for a couple hours just isn't enough for ...
This Bardot vehicle boasts an excellent transfer to DVD. BB is in fine comedic form, and Annie Girardot is altogether convincing in her "straight" role as a serious prostitute. The best moments include Brigitte (Agnes) learning the "tricks" of the trade, being followed everywhere by the scroungy ...
This movie's greatest virtue is its realism. The movie is devoid of phony acting and an implausible or complicated plot. It is simply a story of a married woman who loves her husband and has been faithful but then encounters a guy who she falls heads over heels for and with whom she has an affair. ...
The Bride is Much Too Beautiful is a charming romantic comedy. There are four main characters and the actors/actresses all do a fine job. Bardot plays the 'good girl' role. With pigtails and ponytails, she looks even younger than her years. Despite her youthful appearance, she exhibits an ...

I first saw this movie when I was ten and it began my lifelong fascination with striptease. But, I had only seen a version (probably trimmed for North America) featuring only partial strip, a version which was later released on video. When I saw the DVD version, my eyes popped out of my head : the ...
The storyline is simple, Brigette Bardot is a school girl who imagines that her father has an exciting other life which he is keeping from her. Little does she know that he owns a nightclub in Paris and is in trouble with the law. When he has to flee town, her father entrusts her to a nightclub ...
An amusing movie of manners and seduction, with a decidedly ironic conclusion
+ A sublime dramatic comedy!
Is it possible to hurt those who are incorrigibly superficial? Probably. In René Clair's Les Grandes Manoeuvres, an amusing film of manners, morals and seduction, you can watch how to do it in style.
Lieutenant Armand de la Verne (Gerard Philipe) is a dashing young officer of the 33rd Dragoons. ...
This was a very interesting film. The dynamics between the main characters was very intriguing. While she may not have been the greatest actress of her time, Brigitte Bardot was good, and she is soooo beautiful. I found Bardot to be very expressive vs. the rather wooden Stephen Boyd. The scenery ...
This is an absorbing film. Bardot's attractive persona combines admirably with the classy scenery of Italy, Switzerland and Paris. Her emotional distress is the central theme, and it stems from a prolific love life that is more gourmande than gourmet.
I actually watched this for a French class, so I was getting the original dialogue, and not a translated English version. On that note, I didn't even know Anthony Perkins spoke French, much less acted in French movies, until I caught the advert for the film on TV5's website. I think about half of ...
The storyline almost does not matter: it is all a pretext to showcase Brigitte Bardot's (stunning) curves. She can't act, but she is so cute! And she is also surrounded by a wonderful cast of character actors well known to the French cinema afficionado of the 50s: Dario Moreno as an overwhelmed ...

The movie is of course very complex and a work of art. Now mi little comment written on a day I was on a rage: Some say that this film is about the gradual destruction of a marriage by the husband's insecurities and the contempt this awakens in a simple woman. I see it as the rationalization a ...
