Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Remastered, Scene Access, Special Edition, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Originally titled Mariee est trop belle, this Brigitte Bardot romp is better known as The Bride is Much Too Beautiful. BB plays an innocent country lass who heads for Paris in hopes of becoming a model. This she does, not by posing in the nude but by showing off wedding frocks. Bardot falls in love with magazine editor Louis Jourdan, but he falls to respond until she takes drastic action-which means of course, removing most of her outer garments. Costar Micheline Presle isn't given much to do: this is Bardot's film all the way (in every sense of that phrase).

3 out of 5 stars Bardot is a magical being who has bewitched the entire world...   February 6, 2009

Bardot is as aggressively irresponsible as she is shamelessly female... Vadim knew how to exploit her charms... He made her a living, breathing sexual fantasy, an object of desire, a symbol of sexual liberty, and as he puts it: "The unrealizable dream of all married men."

However, filmmaker Pierre Gaspard-Huit did not understand that Bardot's image had been permanently altered, and cast her the same year of "And God Created Woman," in rather dull film, in which Bardot played an adorably naive and provincial girl metamorphosed into a cover girl on the lookout for her Prince Charming...

The hottest most provocative new bombshell had been woefully miscast as a blushing, sweet little thing, which was really "too much."

Luckily, 1957 began with "Une Parisienne," which saw Michel Boisrond, her friend and ally since the film "Cette Sacrée Gamine" assign her role of a dynamic and fun-loving woman...



4 out of 5 stars A witty, delightful comedy   June 24, 2002
3 out of 5 found this review helpful

The Bride is Much Too Beautiful is a charming romantic comedy. There are four main characters and the actors/actresses all do a fine job. Bardot plays the 'good girl' role. With pigtails and ponytails, she looks even younger than her years. Despite her youthful appearance, she exhibits an extraordinary amount of sex appeal. Despite Bardot's awesome prescence, this is one movie that she doesn't dominate. Louis Jourdan of Gigi fame plays his usual suave and charming self. Micheline Presle plays the role of a career oriented publishing executive. I thought her performance was excellent. Jean-Francois Calve plays one of BB's love interests.

The script is quite well written. For example, when Bardot was asked by guy who admired her if she liked necklaces, she replied 'Not if there are strings attached'. While there is some narrative used for information purposes and to move the story along the movie is mostly dialogue and not narrative.

The musical score is quite good. One melody is very enchanting and invokes memories of the incomparable Unchained Melody.

The movie I saw was in black and white and dubbed in English. Despite these shortcomings, I found this movie quite charming.

Mostly narrated and in Black and White. I was expecting a "highly commical" video. It took me 3 days to get through the movie. I had to keep turning it off out of boredom.
