In Roger Vadim's PLEASE NOT NOW!, Brigitte Bardot stars as Sophie, a ditsy Parisian fashion model who suffers insurmountable heartbreak and humiliation when her boyfriend, Phillipe (Jacques Riberolles), runs off with an American heiress. Determined to win him back, Sophie chases her errant lover to the mountains. Custard pies, speeding sleds, turbaned swamis, and unexpected romance all figure prominently as Sophie is joined in her quest for either love or vengeance, which ever comes first, by Alain (Michel Subor), an earnest young man hoping to win her heart--as well as a glimpse of her naked splendor. Looking to the legend of her hot-blooded family for inspiration, Sophie vows to shoot her lover's new flame if she cannot win him back herself. From the cafes of the Paris demimonde to the tony ski resorts of Italy, Bardot is sassy and gullible as she falls prey to scheming men as well as her own amorous passions. A dream sequence in which Sophie's suitor imagines her doing a slow samba wearing nothing but a fogged camera filter and bath towel won PLEASE NOT NOW! the title of "most provocative comedy of the year," but it's Bardot's innate comic sensibility and her ultimate ease in front of the camera that make for a supremely charming film.
