    B.B. Against C.C.

    Brigitte one more time show to the world of the cinema how sure of herself she was this time around she was paired with Claudia Cardinale a beauty on her own and the Italian answer to Bardot . in the past Bardot was pair with the sublime Jeanne Moreau and the very talented Annie Girardot, this movie is a western a very good one i love the way Bardot and Cardinale fight , they are very sexy together of course Bardot is by far more beautiful and more famous please rent or try to watch this movie is wonderful you will have a great time plus is Bardot in it the most beautiful movie star of all time. I will said one thing about this movie it have many different name in English i don't know why , but remember any movie with Brigitte in its a treat

    Solve the equation:B²+C²=0

    After the first half of the sixties,Christian-Jaque 's talent began to deteriorate .It was extraordinary he fell so quickly and so low after the brilliant works of the thirties ,forties ,fifties and even early sixties.

    Probably made to capitalize on the success of Louis Malle's "Viva Maria" where BB met Jeanne Moreau in 1965, "Le petroleuses" is a slapstick comedy where two gorgeous cowgirls fight for an oilfield. In her memoirs,BB remembers she could not ride a horse,and she was terrified each time she had to get back into the saddle.Her screams (Mama!Mama!) used to make CC laugh until she cried.She did not like the film.I didn't either.

    My heart is aflutter

    Claudia Cardinale is in my dreamy Top Ten. Cardinale does not disappoint in "The Legend of Frenchie King". Brigitte Bardot is also no slouch. Bardot's all girl gang fills out the rest of the card. Throw in Michael J. Pollard as the marshall and you have all the makings of an enjoyable spaghetti western. "The Legend of Frenchie King" is enjoyable all the way as it builds to the greatest catfight in spaghetti western history. But I have to admit, the dubbing in this movie is ridiculous. They didn't even try to match it up to the lips. I'm guessing they figured nobody would by looking at their lips anyway so why bother. They weren't wrong.

    Western Babe-Fest with BB and CC!

    Unusual comic Western romp starring two foreign beauties of the 50's and 60's, Bardot and Cardinale. This certainly isn't a work of art but fun all the same. With Michael J. Pollard (from Bonnie and Clyde) as the sheriff, how wrong can you go? Warring families fighting over land (with catfights).

    Wonderful music and an easygoing flowing rhythm, this film should become a camp classic. A 6 out of 10. Best performance = Michael J. Pollard. Good luck finding this one. Bardot's best 70's film (which really isn't saying much), but I had a blast when I saw this as a teenager back in the early 70's. Give it a shot!

    Terrific Entertainment

    Two sexy superstar actresses in a cowgirl/cowboy western, with the erotic overtones an Italian film will add. Brigitte Bardot is the train robber, accompanied by her gang of attractive women in this female-dominated movie. Set in a "French" western city in the U.S. Combined with the sexiness is a very humorous, entertaining storyline about rivalry for an oil ranch, as the sexual tension between the two leading actresses (who are rivals) and a goofy sheriff is complemented and eventually superseded by the tension between Brigitte's gang of lovelies and Claudia's supporting brothers (which eventually certainly is not tension). A fabulous must-see, with a wonderful catfight, and women should enjoy it as much as men.

    • Trivia
      The Little P. Ranch was built specifically for this film, but it remained standing after filming was completed and would go on to appear in the following movies: Et viva la révolution! (1971), Far West Story (1972), Shanghaï Joe (1973), Uno, dos, tres... dispara otra vez (1973), Du sang dans la poussière (1974) and Le Blanc, le Jaune et le Noir (1975). The ranch burned down in an unknown year, leaving only the chimney standing. It remains so as of January 2017.

      When Louise is buying the horse and riding it in Maria's corral, the long shots are of an obvious stunt double.
