In this French drama, an aspiring photographer leaves his wife and daughter to seek his fortune in the City of Light. After three years, the wife grows tired of country life and also moves to Paris, but instead of looking for her husband, she becomes a model. Fortunately, by the story's end, she and he reconcile and happiness ensues. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

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. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The French Branquinol is a plotless, shapeless musicomedy revue in the tradition of "Hellzapoppin." The story, such as it is, concerns a theatrical troupe's efforts to stage a charity show. This plot peg is merely an excuse to present the "Branquinol" company at their most zany and uninhibited. The show has more of a satirical edge than one might expect, with certain theatrical cliches given the once-over in uproarious fashion (in this, the film resembles the Forbidden Broadway stage revues of the 1980s and 1990s). Much of the humor may seem merely quaint or strident to American viewers, with the exception of the antics of star comedian Christian Duvaleix. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

- Colette Brosset, Robert Dhéry, (more)
