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

法国性感小猫碧姬·芭铎，每日收到来自三番市8岁幼齿粉丝的一封热情洋溢的情信：“亲爱的碧姬，我非常非常地爱你……”这样的情节真令人融化，所以亲爱的碧姬在《Dear Brigitte》中亲身出演本人。
这部碧姬·芭铎甘作大配角的电影是1965年二十世纪福克斯公司出品的超级喜剧，如今却知者了了。作为爱电影爱推广快乐的本人，觉得在豆瓣的零记录上作出推介义不容辞。
男孩的父亲是一所大学里颇受主流冷落的诗歌教授，对科学有着顽固的偏见，一意孤行地发展自己唯一幼子的人文学才能。上帝却跟他开了一个不大不小的玩笑，他的儿子在被发现是音盲加色盲之后，终于展露了数学方面的惊人天赋。不仅能在一瞥之下就发现银行巨长的报表底端的计算错误，而且强到让当时最新型的计算机因计算不能而瘫痪。最令人昏厥的是，男孩的唯一爱好是碧姬·芭铎，每日用功地趴在桌上写情信，即使没有回信也锲而不舍。
后来男孩的才能被用在赌马上，每押必中（象雨人一样）。父亲用儿子赌马赢的钱建立了基金拯救没落的人文学（大人在现实面前是很容易妥协的）。这时候，日思夜想的亲爱的碧姬终于回信邀请男孩赴法一聚……
这真是堪称绝版的超级粉丝见面会——害相思病的男孩在性感偶像面前一句话也说不出口，只是一股痴心地歪着头呆视，尴尬的诗人父亲在一旁有用限的法语结结巴巴地解释。每次想起这场景就笑到绝倒！
这个很久很久以前被央视引进并翻作《神童》的电影，专在暑期档播放，现在早已不见踪影。不知有多少人还记得这样与少时记忆挂钩的快乐电影。即使不记得电影，也记得快乐的记忆。
