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.
如何评价《神童1965》
首先声明，我是真的挺喜欢这部《神童1965》小片的，n刷过后我也看了一些导演和演员的相关采访，对这个电影也有了一些更深的感受和想说的话。这其实是于适自己在路演的时候对电影的形容，我觉得还挺准确的：他说这部电影就像一瓶冰镇过的橘子姜味汽水，一开始喝下去凉爽愉悦，但最后回味起来又会有点辛辣苦涩，我现在可以说就处在这个回味的阶段。
优酷网友热评：慕名去看，画面很精致，演技也在线，台词意味深长，编剧非常用力，最终呈现出来的是一支华丽的舞蹈。
来自网易云网友的评价：导演以自身的传统美学功底，对电影的写实艺术特性也有精深的理解和把握，他特别擅以生动的细节描绘人物的内心活动，并调动电影的各种艺术元素为塑造人物服务。
