...live and love by no rules but my own," said Brigitte Bardot, 30, and the rules of this particular ménage had a certain touch of Bronx Zoo. On location with Co-Stars Jeanne Moreau and George Hamilton for Viva Maria! in Cuernavaca, B.B. set up housekeeping in a sumptuous villa with a whole menagerie of cuddly companions: a dog, a rabbit, two ducks, a chicken, and Playboy Bob Zagury, production assistant on the set, whose off-duty role sometimes gets pretty beastly. "Last night he was very angry," she told newsmen candidly. "The rabbit was very naughty...
...Invited to be her houseguest at the villa she had rented for herself and staff, Farrell spent ten days interviewing at poolside, on the set, and on auto trips to Mexico City, Barry at the wheel.

The film's pretensions often make way for the most extravagant display of Bardot nudity yet seen. She appears nude in red light, blue light, and on a bearskin rug. "Do you like my ankles?" she purrs. "My knees? Thighs?" The question seems oddly beside the point for a director ostensibly contemplating the bust of Homer...
