Les Bijoutiers du Clair de Lune (1958)
Director: Roger Vadim
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Vadim's follow-up to And God Created Woman casts Bardot as a virgin sprung from convent school to live with her aunt and uncle, aristocrats of Franco's Spain. The impetuous cream puff falls in love at first sight with a hunky local (Boyd), and soon they're à bout de souffle - and on the run from the police. Whether bullfighting in a push-up bra or wrangling with a wayward towel, Bardot is gorgeous (the entire point, after all) and so are the azure CinemaScope skies of the Andalucia locations.
