In France, a group of nuns go to the beach to swim. The nun Agnès (Brigitte Bardot) flees; hides her habit in the sand; steals some clothes from a cabin and a motorbike; and travels to Paris. On arrival, a car hit her, and she is forced to go to the police station, where a group of prostitutes have been arrested. She befriends the hooker Mona Lisa (Annie Girardot) and when Lisa is released, she invites Agnès to stay with her. Agnès feels uncomfortable being supported by her new friend, and tries to find a job, bur she does not have qualifications. Lisa teaches the virgin Agnès how to be a prostitute, but she fails. Short of money, what will they do?

"Les novices" (1970) is a very silly movie directed by Claude Chabrol, despite the names Brigitte Bardot and Annie Girardot in the cast. The plot is not funny, despite the great actresses, and disappoints. The weak conclusion does not help this forgettable movie. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "As Noviças" ("The Novices")

The entire charm of film is the contribution of actors. The story is silly, unrealistic, chaotic and just absurd. But for admirers of Annie Girardot and brigitte bardot, it has the chance to be nice.

The basic problem - difficult to imagine BB as nun. And the reactions of her character are saved by her beauty.

The film seems just an improvisation at a drink , in a bar, very late . And the formula a nun and a whore and a dog works in bad manner. But it is just a comedy, very easy, very uninspired crafted, offering few drops of nostalgia and a saved poor chicken. And an ambulance becoming a sort of bordel, a young priest in delicate situation and the beach.

So, some sensuality, religion and friendship. In random doses.

In her memoirs ,BB wrote that the director was so dreadful that she and Annie Girardot had to call to Claude Chabrol for help;after all,the script was written by Paul Gégauff,who had worked with that director ("les cousins" "Que la bête meure" and more).

It could have been a very funny farce:BB is a nun on the run who meets a hooker Mona Lisa (Girardot) who teaches the naive girl her trade .They work in an ambulance and they take in a dog ,Snoopy (Every BB flick features an animal).Spiteful gossips said the pet stole the show at the time ,and as for the actresses,French critics favored -a little- Girardot over Bardot in what they called a display of mediocrity.They were not wrong.

For a second there I though I was watching March of the Penguins, but it was just a collection of nuns in habits enjoying a frolic in the sea.

One of those nuns was nun other than Brigette Bardot, looking absolutely gorgeous at 36. Why she abandoned her convent life and went on a stealing rampage is unexplained, but it wasn't long before a dog became involved.

She looked over her situation: money - nun. food - nun. place to sleep - nun, job -nun. It looked hopeless, but a kind-hearted working girl took pity. She met Mona Lisa (Annie Girardot) and was taken care of.

Time came for Bardot to earn her own way. The training and first night were hilarious. She looked like Orphan Annie in her costume.

Well, that didn't work out, so she got a job driving an ambulance, which worked fine at night as Mona Lisa could give "examinations" in the back.

But, things do not always go as planned. After several failures, they end up back on the beach with the nuns.

Nudity: nun, but it was funny.
