Her Bridal Night (aka The Bride Is Much Too Beautiful)
Her Bridal Night (aka The Bride Is Much Too Beautiful) Customer Review: A witty, delightful comedy
The Bride is Much Too Beautiful is a charming romantic comedy. There are four main characters and the actors/actresses all do a fine job. Bardot plays the ‘good girl’ role. With pigtails and ponytails, she looks even younger than her years. Despite her youthful appearance, she exhibits an extraordinary amount of sex appeal. Despite Bardot’s awesome prescence, this is one movie that she doesn’t dominate. Louis Jourdan of Gigi fame plays his usual suave and charming self. Micheline Presle plays the role of a career oriented publishing executive. I thought her performance was excellent. Jean-Francois Calve plays one of BB’s love interests.
The script is quite well written. For example, when Bardot was asked by guy who admired her if she liked necklaces, she replied ‘Not if there are strings attached’. While there is some narrative used for information purposes and to move the story along the movie is mostly dialogue and not narrative.
The musical score is quite good. One melody is very enchanting and invokes memories of the incomparable Unchained Melody.
The movie I saw was in black and white and dubbed in English. Despite these shortcomings, I found this movie quite charming.
