English title: The Long Teeth.

In walk-on-parts - Brigitte Bardot and Roger Vadim (soon to be man and wife) acts as witnesses at the screen wedding of real-life marrieds, Daniel Gelin and Daniele Delorme. A young provincial journalist using his long teeth gnaws his way to the top in Paris.

Brigitte Bardot did not make much of an impact in the film except for her own teeth, long since released from the firm brace, causing that provocative, suggestive pout.

The film was largely a one-man, family effort by Daniel Gelin who wrote the script, directed and played the lead opposite his wife Daniele Delorme. BB's appearance was fleeting, her partner in the brief scene - Roger Vadim.
