Review

Une Ravissante Idiote (or The Ravishing Idiot, which IMDb calls Agent 38-24-36, has been released on DVD. It stars a 32-year-old Anthony Perkins as a Russian spy who was raised in England, and has been assigned to steal the NATO mobilization plans from an Admiral’s house. British Secret Service has planted fake plans there, and is doing everything they can to make sure Perkins succeeds. Only problem is that Perkins is way to incompetent to pull it off.

Brigitte Bardot plays a beautiful, but stupid fashion model that Perkins has his eye on. I suspect that this is, at least partially, a French jab at the British, but it is terribly dated, and I had my finger on the fast forward frequently. There is evidently an out-of-print dubbed VHS version that was released in the US, and might be gathering dust on your neighborhood video rental store shelf.

Fans of the leads might want to try this, but a dated farce of British Intelligence in French with subtitles is not exactly 21st century entertainment. D+.

Nudity Report: Bardot is seen topless in a pair of panties, but with the old arms over breasts trick. She also wears short tight shorts, and has a couple of minor pokies in sweaters.

IMDb Summary: IMDb readers (all 12) have this at 6.4 of 10.

DVD Info: The subtitles were huge and ugly, and the DVD was mastered in an incorrect aspect ratio, so all the faces were skinny.
