Brigitte Bardot may be only third billed in the credits but without a doubt she's the star of this graceless sex farce. Clad in cleavage-baring blouses, dresses that look painted on, flimsy negligees, and sexy undergarments, she spends the first half of the film wooing womanizing cabinet minister Henri Vidal, accurately described by one jilted lover as "a jerk, a despicable son of a bitch," and the second half taunting him with an affair. Arriving at a diplomatic function, her blonde hair coifed and her ample charms squeezed into a bright red dress, she recalls Marilyn Monroe in The Prince and the Showgirl, and finds her own prince in suave Charles Boyer, an all too willing elderly philanderer with charm and grace to spare. Vidal is a handsome but drab hunk with all the charisma of Sam Donaldson and the self-restraint of a rooster, which makes his fury at his wife's flirtations all the more odious. Bardot, with her bow-tie lips pursed in teasing pouts and eyes fluttering from behind ever-present black eyeliner, lifts her scenes with a spirited performance and sex kitten sweetness, but it's not enough to save this clumsy, flat, male-chauvinist sex comedy. For Bardot fans only. --Sean Axmaker

 Bardot, a dynamic fun-loving woman and Boyer, an old-style romantic without the grand manner... January 16, 2007
Vadim changed Brigitte's image and way of life from that of the young society beauty he had married to that of a rebellious and challenging teenager of the 1950s...
"Une Parisienne" succeeded in launching her ravishing figure as the teenage goddess, the casual sexuality, the provocative gaiety in confrontation with men...
Charles Boyer -- as Prince Charles -- was the perfect, ideal choice of those magically romantic moments... His deep and vibrant voice spoke a promise of new adventures in love... His deep, wondering eyes bespoke a worldly knowledge untarnished by cynicism... He had the boudoir grace of Valentino without the hysteria or the sometime effeminacy of the great lover... Under Michel Boisrond's direction, Boyer was an old-style romantic without the grand manner...
Classic Brigitte Bardot May 31, 2002

Better known to American audiences as La Parisienne (the sanitized English version), Une Parisienne is a charming, delightful romantic comedy. What you will see is classic Brigitte Bardot. Bardot puts forth a great amount of energy in her role which ranks up there with her lively performance in Viva Maria. Bardot at age 23, never looked better or sexier than she does in Une Parisienne.The color and cinematography in this movie are excellent. This movie doesn't seem to have aged at all. There are a couple of great aerial shots. The widescreen format doesn't reduce the size of the images hardly at all. This is my favorite Bardot movie - more enjoyable than the more famous and popular And God Created Woman. Those who have never seen this movie have an opportunity now. Purchase it or rent it if you can and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Loved this movie. Bardot is a timeless beauty! Story is funny, and Charles Boyer is a great addition. The copy I had was not dubbed but subtitled. Color and quality was great. Highly Recommend!!

This movie is fun. How could one hate Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni? She' young and lovely; he's young and handsome. My complaint is that the film is dubbed into English. Though well-done, I soon discovered it when Charles Boyer started to speak, and his splendid voice was not to be heard. If this does not bother you it probably won't amount to a negative. The scenery is good.
