Please Not Now! 1961  N/R, 74 min.
Genre: Foreign / Comedy
Director: Jean Aurel, J.D. Trop, Roger Vadim
Cast: Brigitte Bardot, Josephine James, Mireille Darc, Edith Zetling, Michel Subor, Jacques Riberolles, Claude Brasseur, Serge Marquand, Jean Tissier, Bernard Fresson
Sophie (Brigitte Bardot), a model, is not at all happy when she finds out that her boyfriend Philippe is cheating on her and decides she will just have to shoot him. But Alain also loves Sophie and tries to talk her out of it and suggests that she try to get Philippe back. When Philippe takes off with his new love (after finding out what Sophie intends), Sophie and Alain take chase. A fair comedy most noted for the "nude" dance by Sophie–though she was really wearing a body sock, with the pictures being shot out-of-focus.

The Young Girls of Rochefort 1968  G, 126 min.
Genre: Comedy / Musical / Romance
Director: Jacques Demy, Agnes Varda
Cast: Catherine Deneuve, George Chakiris, Gene Kelly, Jacques Perrin, Danielle Darrieux, Michel Piccoli, Francoise Dorleac, Jacques Riberolles, Grover Dale, Genevieve Thenier, Henri Cremieux, Pamela Hart, Leslie North, Patrick Jeantet, Rene Bazart
Every word is sung and every step is choreographed in this film about sisters Delphine (Catherine Deneuve) and Solange (Francoise Dorleac). They help their mother Madam Yvonne (Danielle Darrieux) with her cafe in the Town Square and run a music and ballet school in Rochefort, France, in their spare time. Although happy while entertaining on stage, Delphine and Solange lack romance in their real lives. Now, the town's annual fair attracts new romantic possibilities in the form of painter Maxence (Jacques Perrin) and tourist Andy Miller (Gene Kelly) as songs and dancing fill the screen.
