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.
