Les novices (1970)
Nuns on the run.
18 September 2005
In her memoirs ,BB wrote that the director was so dreadful that she and Annie Girardot had to call to Claude Chabrol for help;after all,the script was written by Paul Gégauff,who had worked with that director ("les cousins" "Que la bête meure" and more).

It could have been a very funny farce:BB is a nun on the run who meets a hooker Mona Lisa (Girardot) who teaches the naive girl her trade .They work in an ambulance and they take in a dog ,Snoopy (Every BB flick features an animal).Spiteful gossips said the pet stole the show at the time ,and as for the actresses,French critics favored -a little- Girardot over Bardot in what they called a display of mediocrity.They were not wrong.
