Brigitte Bardot stars in Love on a Pillow, a tale of twisted love directed by Roger Vadim.

The English title may be catchpenny, but this is intriguing excavation from a lost era. Brigitte Bardot is a well-brought-up girl from an upper class family who encounters an unstable young man, Renaud (Robert Hossein), who has tried to commit suicide in her hotel room. She embarks upon a self-destructive love affair. Unusual fare, more challenging than usual for Bardot as an actress (although semi-nudity is inevitably on offer), but Bardot is no Jeanne Moreau. Nevertheless, fascinating fare. < less
