The year 1956 finally made the French actress Brigitte BARDOT the "super-vedette" of French cinema. As a sex bomb from the service, she became one of the most successful export hits from France in the coming years.
Here BARDOT plays the young general's daughter Agnes, who publishes a satirical investigative novel about her hometown of Vichy (warning! Nazi involvement!) under a pseudonym. Encouraged by the surprising success, Agnes sets off for Paris to find a nationwide publisher. But in the megacity Paris the money is by no means on the streets. But the extremely advantageously built Agnes has another success story: as a striptease dancer!
Of course, BARDOT plays itself here. And of course there are more daring insights in French cinema than in the other cinema nations of the time. Other roles include GULDENBURG star Daniel GELIN (in the West German television series DAS ERBE DER GULDENBURGS / THE LEGACY OF THE GULDENBURG on ZDF he was briefly seen as the lover of the countess played by Christiane HÖRBIGER) as a mega-picker reformed by BARDOT and the later BOND villain Luciana PALUZZI ( THUNDERBALL) is also a busty exchange student from Bella Italia. Also worth mentioning is Mischa AUER (1905-1967), who was born in Saint Petersburg, as a funny Parisian taxi driver. An absolute must for avowed fans of BARDOT!
