A lively, humorous romp that puts Bardot in her finest comic role: the innocent yet enticing daughter of the French Premier. A marriage to Vidal, the Premier's private secretary, is arranged, but when he takes to a flirtatious lifestyle, Bardot decides to fight back. She makes eyes at
Boyer, an aging Prince, and flies with him to a sunny Riviera vacation spot. Before long, after both Boyer and Bardot catch colds, the love-stricken newlyweds reunite and the prince goes on his way. One of the stronger arguments for Bardot's talent, with excellent support from Boyer and Boisrond's
assured direction. (In French; English subtitles.)
