 Another note about movie length. There is bothersome problem with PAL conversions that changes the length of a movie by 4%. The original English video copy I have is 1:25. This current release is 1:21:40, in European PAL.
My best understanding is that this occurs when converting the film rate of 24fps to the PAL video rate of 25fps. I've been confused in the past thinking it's about converting PAL 25fps to NTSC 30fps, but digital conversions can do that correctly without getting mixed up.
It does not mean the film is a different edit.
IMDB gives the original length as 1:26. Maybe that leaves an extra minute for cut nudity?

 Here's a mystery regarding cut nudity. In a review at Amazon.com, Chuck Snow states "I caught this film in its original FRENCH release, and I remember a fair amount of nudity (Bardot's) that is absent". This is an impossible mystery. The releases today are French and there is no nudity. But I can think of three places where there could have been: when she undresses in the bedroom after the wedding, in the bathtub scene, and at the beach when she says she needs to take off her suit. Yes there was full nudity in European films at the time. I never knew Brigitte ever to show her nipples, but this says she did. So the French have turned chicken as the years go by.

 I've added a screenshot where her legs are shown. I've cropped the 1.37 image out of the 16:9 frame, then added an outline showing how the theatrical release would have been cropped for 1.66.

Also added a street scene at 1.37 illustrating surplus space.

All previous releases were missing the video of the pre-title sequence. Here it is finally restored. The packaging is not clear about the video shape. It turns out that they have used the entire picture area of the original 35 mm film, without cropping to the theatrical 1.66 shape. That means AR 1.37, leaving surplus image on top and bottom. The picture has been restored in high definition.
The nudity is still cut from the bathtub scene.
As for the movie, I don't call it "one of her best". Face it, it is her best.
