...zelle Pigalle (Films-Around-the-World), Brigitte Bardot's sixth major U.S. release, contains enough provocative photography to give a teen-ager the Brigitters and to accelerate his grandfather's Bardotage. Though Brigitte wears more than 15 costumes, one suitcase could easily carry the lot. When not wearing a bikini, she wriggles about in tutus, tights and gossamer nighties.

...booked in most U.S. cities without Manhattan reviews, Father Panchali will almost certainly not be booked elsewhere in the U.S. Meantime, Manhattan's art houses looked more than ever like tart houses, as their marquees showed: The Adulteress ("absorbing drama of sin"), And God Created Woman (starring Brigitte Bardot), Sins of Casanova ("wicked"), The Bride Was Much Too Beautiful (Brigitte Bardot), Smiles of a Summer Night ("bawdy, nawdy"), The Light Across the Street (Brigitte Bardot...
