Directed by Michel Boisrond • 1957 • France, Italy

Brigitte Bardot was best-known as an actress (as opposed to a sex symbol) for her dramatic performances -- Michel Boisrond's Une Parisienne proved that she could be just as effective as a comedienne (getting her compared to Marilyn Monroe at her best), and hold her own alongside no less a figure than romantic leading man Charles Boyer. Between the two of them, and the movie's beautiful cinematography by Marcel Grignon, and Boisrond's lively, frothy direction of this story about a young married couple coping with fears of infidelity, Une Parisienne remains a treat for fans of Bardot, Boyer, or romantic comedies.
