Trivia
Filming started with Jean Aurel in the director's chair, in what would have been his feature directing debut. However Aurel quickly ran afoul with the cast & crew, and after three weeks, star Brigitte Bardot told the producers she'd quit if he wasn't replaced. The producers, dismayed with how the film was shaping, quickly agreed and Roger Vadim was approached. Vadim took the film on as a favor to Bardot and associate producer Francis Cosne, rewrote the script with Claude Brulé and kept a few bits filmed by Aurel to not let three weeks of work go completely to waste. Aurel remains completely uncredited in the film, be it for the script or directing.

Brigitte, Brigitte, Brigitte...

I adore Brigitte Bardot. Yeah, she didn't star in the best films. You know what, I don't really care! Some of them, like this one, known in the U.S. as "Please Not Now!", are very silly and/or dumb, but BB is so beautiful and has such charisma that they're fun to watch. Of course, fans of Brigitte will enjoy them more than anyone else. I have only seen a few of Bardot's films, but out of all the ones I've seen, this is the most ridiculous. C'mon - a swami that can make people float in mid-air through the use of hypnosis! What?! And there's barely a plot - Bardot plays a model who is very klutzy/dizzy who wants to make her ex-boyfriend jealous in an attempt to win him back, so it's at that point that the "action" shifts to a ski resort. Who cares - it's light, goofy fun. From what I've read about Bardot this was her "comeback" film. Hmm...I've yet to see "The Truth" or "Contempt", but those look like Bardot's best films/performances. The Brigitte Bardot collection vhs or dvd set is highly recommended if you are a Bardot fan.
