When Bardot made puppets out of men !, 16 July 2000
7/10
Author: Eric Sayettat (sayettat@hotmail.com) from Paris, France

She is a good looking bimbo from a family with no history, he is a high class aristocrat... a bit dour... He loves her for what she offers : her charming looks but she wants him for more that a night shift...

BB will play with her puppet until he is tired and surrenders to her. Women have their ways !

An enjoyable movie about intelligent men who turn stupid in front of apparently, but only apparently, stupid women.

Good actors and Spain as a backdrop (unusual). If God already had created Woman, he probably created Man after her.
