Bardot was the sex symbol of France in the 50s and 60s, and internationally I think, if you watch this film you will understand why that is the case.
She can shine in this light-hearted crime film and attract all the attention, which she accomplishes effortlessly.
This is of course not a serious crime film, the tone is too light for that, but that lightness still works quite well, Bardot can steal the show in the mean time with her wonderful lighthearted femininity.
The plot is not special, but it is well constructed and it leaves you as a viewer in the dark until the last moment.
You could almost say it's a successful crime comedy.
