Trivia
There are two versions of the movie - the original French version and the English language version. However, the English language version is not simply the original film dubbed into English. The movie was in fact shot simultaneously both in French and English, and both Bardot and Jourdan say their lines in both languages instead of having a native English speaker dub them in the English version. The English language version was released on VHS internationally.

Brigitte needs a husband badly!

This early Brigitte Bardot movie is not special in any cinematographic way, but the story is not bad and Brigitte is quite enchanting. Many situations cleverly call for her to walk around in her underwear or night dress. This kind of movies gave other countries, especially America and England, the reason to refer to any daring movie from the continent as a 'French Movie'. All together, not a movie mile-stone, but not a bad flick either.
