Plucking the Daisy

Agnes thinks her brother is a rich artist but he's actually a poor guide in the Balzac Museum.

Roger Vadim had just written a movie which launched Bardot as a leading lady, Naughty Girl.

"[6] The Los Angeles Times called it "a most delightful, naughty and very funny comedy... Bardot strikes pure gold... it's strictly a fun show that doesn't try to prove a thing.

The New York Times said the "sole excuse for this singularly unfrothy and unfunny romantic comedy is Brigitte Bardot....[a] thin, old-fashioned, slightly smutty and extremely dull charade...

"[8] In a retrospective review, Turner Classic Movies called it "a typical French romantic comedy... complete with a meet-cute on a train, and plenty of loving shots of Bardot's pert behind.... typical of the suggestive but innocuous films that Bardot made early in her career.
