shepardjessica-1 Ms. Bardot, as always, is charming and delightful and has a cool little studio apartment in this lovely pastiche. It's perfectly cast with very few semi-nude scene and Brigitte is delightfully in love with a yuppie fool who can't see the light. BB's suitor is funny and attentive and worthy of her attention.A 6 out of 10. Best performance = Ms. Bardot. She made only a few great films, but is always worth a look because of her presence. Great photography and locales in France. I'm surprised BB doesn't have more of a following, but I realize she hasn't made a film since '73. I've seen about half of her films and enjoyed most of them. Check them out.

dbdumonteil That's what the title means ...Nowadays was actually 1961.But BB was an important actress,because she created a brand new type of woman on the screen,not a bimbo as too many people think today.We cannot say the same of her ex-husband and director Vadim,with whom she made five films("Et Dieu créa la femme" ,"Les bijoutiers du clair de lune" ," "le repos du guerrier" "Don Juan73" and this movie).None of this bad lot would deserve to be watched today,if it were not for BB ."La bride sur le cou" was first directed by Jean Aurel,who wrote the screenplay ,but Vadim finished and took the credit.This is a harmless comedy,with an occasional funny line.THe love and sympathy BB feels for animals emerge sometimes.An erotic dance is given the soft focus treatment,because of the censorship.Today it would not shock a ten-year-old.

anawesomemoviefanatic I adore Brigitte Bardot. Yeah, she didn't star in the best films. You know what, I don't really care! Some of them, like this one, known in the U.S. as "Please Not Now!", are very silly and/or dumb, but BB is so beautiful and has such charisma that they're fun to watch. Of course, fans of Brigitte will enjoy them more than anyone else. I have only seen a few of Bardot's films, but out of all the ones I've seen, this is the most ridiculous. C'mon - a swami that can make people float in mid-air through the use of hypnosis! What?! And there's barely a plot - Bardot plays a model who is very klutzy/dizzy who wants to make her ex-boyfriend jealous in an attempt to win him back, so it's at that point that the "action" shifts to a ski resort. Who cares - it's light, goofy fun. From what I've read about Bardot this was her "comeback" film. Hmm...I've yet to see "The Truth" or "Contempt", but those look like Bardot's best films/performances. The Brigitte Bardot collection vhs or dvd set is highly recommended if you are a Bardot fan.
