Babette Goes to War

Babette Goes to War

Brigitte Bardot is a Comedienne Now!

1959106 min5.6 / 10

A light-hearted wartime comedy that uses the fish-out-of-water premise of an untrained French girl as a spy to generate charm and humor rather than genuine espionage tension.

Beautiful housekeeper Babette travels to England after the Nazis invade France. There, British intelligence devise a plan for Babette to sneak back home, where she could use her feminine charm on key Nazi officer Schulz, gleaning valuable information for England. However, Babette, although willing and spirited, is naïve and untrained, making her less than ideal for matters of national security.
