When in doubt, Bardot always knows how to make an entrance—even if it’s through the woods.

Programmer's Pick

Brigitte Bardot delivers charm and cheek in this Parisian romp, where fashion meets farce and seduction comes in sheer lingerie. The film pairs Bardot’s comedic timing with Louis Jourdan’s willfully clueless editor, giving viewers a front-row seat to the cat-and-mouse games of mid-century French romance.

Synopsis

In this frothy romantic comedy, the lovely Brigitte Bardot plays Chouchou, a successful model. Chouchou is single but hoping to change that soon; she's become infatuated with Michel (Louis Jordan), the editor of a fashion magazine, but Michel, apparently unaware of an opportunity when it presents itself, seems unaware of her interest in him.

The harder Chouchou tries to make herself noticed, the less Michel seems to understand, until she takes drastic measures by making him chase her though the woods while she wears sheer lingerie which leaves little to the imagination. La Mariée est trop belle was one of a number of light comedies starring Brigitte Bardot which arrived in American theaters after the international success of ... And God Created Woman.
