      Le policier motard: Brigitte Laurier, like the president of the council.

      Brigitte Laurier: I'm his daughter.

      Le policier motard: That's still no reason to run a red light.

      Brigitte Laurier: Please hurry, Officer. I'm running after the man I love.

      Le policier motard: Don't ever run after a man. That's a sure way to lose him.

      Brigitte Laurier: I know, but I can't help myself.

    Italian holiday
    A generic title ,which could fit countless other movies whose heroine is a Parisian;a screenplay the standards of which are simply what the French call:"Théatre De Boulevard ":run of the mill stories of wives,husbands ,lovers ,cuckolds ,with a dash of "Roman Holiday" in reverse for good measure.

    Brigitte Bardot acted naturally ,with a drawling voice and a roguish look ,and this "Petit Je Ne Sais Quoi " which made her THE greatest French sex symbol of all time;she did know she was hot and very attractive but she did never take it too seriously;she already showed her love for animals in the scene when she pampered the dog;Charles Boyer was aging at the time and was too old for a prince charming.

    As for her hubby in the film,Henri Vidal,this is one of the saddest stories in the history of the French cinema:addicted to heroin since he was 17,although he tried detox ,he had only two years left to live ;he was to meet again BB in "Voulez-Vous Danser Avec Moi"with the same director (Boisrond), his final role (1959).
