This film directed by Roger Vadim is credited with launching Brigitte Bardot into the international spotlight and creating her sex kitten persona. In it she stars as Juliette, a teenage orphan who basically does as she pleases. She doesn't hide her sexuality and openly flirts with men, including wealthy Eric Carradine (Curd Jurgens). When her foster mother plans to send her back to the orphanage, Carradine plans to get her married off so that she can stay. She ends up marrying naive Michel Tardieu (Jean-Louis Trintignant), the brother of Antoine (Christian Marquand) the man she is really in love with. Everything is fine until Antoine comes back home to run the docks for Carradine.
