剧情简介
Dear Brigitte is one of the funniest comedies from the 1960s, about a tone-deaf, color-blind boy genius with one interest: Brigitte Bardot. James Stewart plays professor Robert Leaf, a typical college professor (when speaking of college professors typical means liberal, but this was 40 years ago and labels change). Leaf teaches poetry, lives in a houseboat in San Francisco, vocally opposes nuclear power and progress in general. He has an original way to make the family stick together - family concerts. His daughter calls him square. Leaf's 8-year old son Erasmus is played by Billy Mumy (Sammy the Way Out Seal, Lost In Space, Bless The Beasts & Children, Three Wishes). Leaf hopes to find artistic genius of some sort in his only son, and nurtures him in music, painting, literature, etc. But Leaf is disappointed, to put it mildly, when it turns out Erasmus has a gift for math, can out-think the colleges newest computer, instantly compute horse-race winners. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but Erasmus had been writing to Bardot regularly, and after the family comes to depend on his ability, his love-sickness causes a mental block. Glynis Johns (Father's Delicate Condition, The Cabinet of Caligari, Mary Poppins) plays Leaf's wife. Ed Wynn (Requiem For A Heavyweight, Mary Poppins) is a neighbor / captain / narrator. Other cast include Fabian, Cindy Carol, John Williams, Jesse White, Jack Kruschen, and James Brolin in an early bit part. Brigitte Bardot appears at the end.
观众心声
诗人爸神童儿，碧姬芭铎的那段戏就是硬塞进去的
往日电影的钩沉
3.5+ 连看两部Henry Koster + 吉米的可爱家庭喜剧，这个导演不错的，剧作也巧妙，还有点诡异的性感在其中>。< 两个狗子都可。从巴黎见BB那段开始观感有所下滑，好在收尾还不错。吉米这部比Mr. Hobbs更hysterical一点，但跟nerd诗人角色完美贴合，反而是非常可爱的:) 有句港句，文学和艺术永远比科技重要的，数字不一定能够构建一个人，但文学和审美可以。【两个男人在一起最后总是要去庆祝the fact that they're men简直笑死了我
Has some good moments and Erasmus is certainly well-cast, but the script is weak.
本片导演亨利·科斯特也是二战期间赴好莱坞的德国电影人，这部喜剧处理的很聪明，神童曝光引来大批记者的桥段让人想起怀尔德的《洞中王牌》，神童的设定是否又引发了伍迪艾伦的《非强力春药》？不满文科遭轻视的大学教授（业余诗人），失望于儿子是音盲色盲之外，意外发现儿子是计算速度超电脑的数学天才，这个8岁男孩还做着娶碧姬·芭铎的梦并为之每日写信，在另一条线上，儿子的运算才能被用在赌马上，有了些犯罪片的元素，整片都很聪明轻佻，对镜讲故事的老头子、前后呼应的被烫伤所以会吹熄火的狗、碧姬·芭铎留下的“奶酪”暗号、基金骗术失败的骗子只好参与一家人的合奏（跑调的大提琴），每一处设计都让节奏紧凑，是一流的喜剧设计。通篇配色都鲜艳易进入，像是可口糖果，碧姬·芭铎扮演自己接见小粉丝的一节也处理的贴心又温暖
