Other than a few frames of BB dressed in undergarments, no reason appears for this film to have been made. No character development, so the actresses are shallow and one-dimensional. Given the beginning and ending in the nunnery, perhaps it was intended as a morality play, but it fails miserably at that if intended-no sins are punished and BB commits various acts of thievery. BB still is beautiful in this film at 36, so if you are a BB fan, this film has that singular positive.

Ok, the movie is silly, but it is sooo funny! The whole idea of a nun shacking up with a prostitute and then driving around in an ambulance and using it as some kind of mobile hotel room for the hooker was pretty funny.

The movie in itself is kinda fun in a weird way. BB is pretty stupid and her acting is pretty poor in this one, fortunately Annie Girardot's acting saves the day (quite famous French actress in the 70's->80's.) The trouble I have with this DVD though is that the subtitles must have been written by somebody who had very little knowledge of the French language, or possibly by a three year old kid. When I watched the movie, it was like watching two very different movies at once. The plot and humour from the original dialogue have all been lost in the translation...I am shocked... I can't believe that the translator actually got paid for this. In a nutshell, if you're a fan of BB or Annie Girardot and you understand French, you might actually enjoy the movie for what it is...
