It's not just that the story of "The Novices" often feels aimless and meandering; it's also that you can tell exactly how it's going to finish if you've seen the film's trailer, or even just the DVD cover!
The film relies heavily on the charm s of its two leading ladies all the other characters are unimportant , Brigitte Bardot and Annie Girardot. Bardot is cleverly cast against type as a "pure" and somewhat naive young woman who remains pure throughout! Perhaps the most surprising thing about this good-looking piece of cotton candy is that Girardot has nothing to be jealous of from the famous sex symbol Bardot when it comes down to a body contest.

Bardotsalvador 8 July What can i said about a movie the star is Brigitte Bardot as a nun i love it , she was very funny is very sad this was at the end of Brigitte Bardot career , here she was in the company of Annie Girardot by this time Annie was a big star never as big as Bardot but she was very famous both were great together trying to survive as a nun Bardot look very sexy and miss Girardot is very good as her protector in real life Bardot and Annie became real friends and today when Annie is very sick Bardot has came out to support her please don't miss this movie of any movie with Brigitte Bardot in IT this was the second time Bardot acted with a big star the first time was Jeanne Moreau , the second time Annie Girardot and the third time was Clauida Cardinale.
Nuns on the run. It could have been a very funny farce: BB is a nun on the run who meets a hooker Mona Lisa Girardot who teaches the naive girl her trade. They work in an ambulance and they take in a dog ,Snoopy Every BB flick features an animal. Spiteful gossips said the pet stole the show at the time ,and as for the actresses,French critics favored -a little- Girardot over Bardot in what they called a display of mediocrity. They were not wrong. Bunuel 27 November To begin with, I managed to obtain a number of Brigitte Bardot's star vehicles even if they have largely proved bland affairs!
Interestingly, this was one of three films in which Bardot was flanked by a female star almost as big as herself: Though ostensibly naughty, with Bardot a reluctant nun! Meeting in a police station, the two women begin by setting up house together: Eventually, she is trained in the art of seduction by her companion but, after failing in this as well! The ruse goes very well at first, leaving the couple wealthy if understandably exhausted The direct result of this is that our heroines first dispose of the ambulance and then re-join the nunnery from which Bardot had fled to begin with!
