[Starring] Brigitte Bardot
The second film in World Cinema's special tribute to the greatest sex symbol of the last 20 years
with Henri Vidal, Charles Boyer

Brigitte's interference in international affairs upsets her father, the Prime Minister, but guarantees her husband's undying affection.

Made the year after And God Created Woman, this lively comedy of marital misunderstanding sealed Bardot's reputation as a sex symbol, and brought back to the screen that much-loved matinee idol, Charles Boyer.
