Review

This B&W English-dubbed French film, set in a boarding school for girls, begins as Catherine (Marie-Helene Arnaud), a curvaceous new transfer student, (she is supposed to be a high schooler, but has the stylish looks and wardrobe of a Parisian fashion model) arrives. She quickly captures the attention of all who come in contact with her. This dark haired beauty with wide, sad eyes becomes the object of affection for an older gentleman and painter; Dean, a young man whom Catherine also falls in love with; and Monica, a fellow student who truly adores Catherine but must suffer unrequited love. The romantic melodrama is diverting, but it is the attractive cast of beauties (many with the looks of sex kittens just about to burst out of the school uniforms) that will hold your attention. And for international titillation for its time (you know, European art), there is some nudity – as several lovely gal shed their pajamas for the freedom of sleeping in the nude while others are seen sleeping with each other. And if some of the scenes look to be jarring or out of place, it’s because director Radley Metzger added some footage for the United States release!
