Recently seeing a number of people posts about their favourite movies from 1956,gave me the idea to dig into my pile of films from that year waiting to be played,which led to me meeting a naughty girl.
View on the film:
The first of two times that the co-writer and the leading lady would work together in 1956, fellow co-writer Michel Boisrond steams up a frothy, flirty atmosphere in his directing debut, by closely working with cinematographer Joseph C. Brun to stage playfully funny Pop-Art spilt-screen as Jean Clery yells down the phone about wild child Brigitte.
From entering Clery's nightclub, Boisrond splashes candy colours across the screen, which bursts in dance abstract set-pieces, beaming with close-ups on the alluring leading lady.
Making his directing debut later in the year, the screenplay by Roger Vadim, Jean Perine & Boisrond bounces around to slick Rom-Com one-liners, with Clery's attempts to stay faithful to his fiancé crumbling, as he Is wooed by the flirting charms of Brigitte.
Attempting to hold his emotions back from falling in love with her, Jean Bretonniere gives a sparkling dead-pan turn as the stumbling into romance Clery, whilst BB enters her breakout year by giving her comedic one-liners a Screwball Comedy sass, which is matched by Bardot giving Brigitte an enticing causal brush-off to the loved up lads, as Brigitte reveals herself to be a naughty girl.
