Review of The Truth (1960) by Zhanyi J — 03 Oct 2010

If there is one role that redeems Bardot for her mediocre filmography, it is this one. In this courtroom drama in which realistic law practices are forgotten as the jury decides between a crime of passion or a premeditated murder, she gives a performance so emotional it simply can't go unnoticed.

Odd to think of her as a powerful drama's driving force, but that is precisely what she is to La Vérité.
