Brigitte Bardot and the Lolita syndrome (1959)


"Brigitte, we are told again and again, is just a simple girl. She loves animals and adores her mother. She is devoted to her friends, she suffers from the hostility she arouses, she repents her caprices, she means to mend her ways. There are excuses for her lapses: fame and fortune came too suddenly, they turned her head, but she is coming to her senses. In short, we are witnessing a veritable rehabilitation, which in recent weeks has gone very far. Definitive redemption, for a star, comes with marriage and motherhood.
 Brigitte speaks only faintly about getting married. On the other hand, she often declares enthusiastically that she adores the country and dreams of taking up farming. In France, love of cows is regarded as a token of high morality. Gabin is sure of winning the public’s sympathy when he declares that ‘a cow is more substantial the glory’."

- Translated by Bernard Fretchman
