One of Bardot's best, 8 Mar 2004
By David E. Miller "LividEmerald" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Please Not Now [DVD] [1961] [US Import] (DVD)
"La bride sur le cou" ("Please Not Now!") is a pure joy to watch. Brigitte is sexy beyond compare, the plot is amusing (and sometimes very funny), and the story has some unexpected comical moments (e.g., the "kitchen" at the hotel). I loved the opening sequence in which Sofie (Brigitte) is driving her Deux Chevaux through the streets of Paris, creating traffic mayhem in her wake. A creative mix of real time and sped-up photography, it's a comic gem that can't be missed. The Paris driving sequence foreshadows a "cool" moment later in the film where Sofie and two courting men race each other around bales of hay in karts, with the POV at ground level just a few feet in front of the karts.
Because it's a fantasy sequence, Brigitte's nude dance is seen through a glass haze. Enough clarity is seen to make it exciting without sacrificing taste. But what makes this sequence extraordinary is (1) the visual "back and forth" interplay of the la Bamba drummer, who dances while he plays, and Brigitte's strip tease, and (2) the accelerating rhythm of the music itself. I also enjoyed the fact that the director (Roger Vadim) chose to employ (literally) a visual metaphor--smoke and mirrors.
The film quality is excellent. The black and white photography is first rate, and Anchor Bay is to be commended for its transfer.
The subtitles are good, though, of course, it doesn't capture ever single word said in French. What does translate is Brigitte Bardot's sensual innocence and inimitable charm.

Quaint !, 13 Mar 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Please Not Now [DVD] [1961] [US Import] (DVD)
Definitely quaint, and sexy, though abominably old-fashionned, in the laboriously goofy plot, and loose character interactions. But all right, it's the sixties, and it's Bardot! My god, she's got something, this Bardot, to lift this little nothing movie out of the nothingness where it actually belongs. Who can forgive director Vadim for giving such small and dead-end parts to actors like Jean Tissier and Claude brasseur, for instance? But sure, he had Bardot, and the Bamba scene as well as the nude scenes remain (cute) classics....The DVD is decent in its viewing and extra features, too...I got my money worth...

Bardot classic acting, 14 Oct 2010
By Tami "ghart27" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Please Not Now [DVD] [1961] [US Import] (DVD)
This is a little-known example of Brigitte Bardot's repertoire. But do you remember how much of an explosion she made on world filmography? In this one, she plays a classic crazy French gal having an impact upon those around her. Enjoy! There is a scene near the end which many male students waited for with bated breath.
