Pauline à la plage (1983) from Tuna

Pauline is almost 16, and heads to the beach with her older cousin Marion (Arielle Dombasle) for a late summer holiday. Marion immediately runs into an old boyfriend at the beach , Pierre (Pascal Greggory), whom she hadn't seen since her marriage, which she is now ending. He never lost the torch he was carrying for her, but she meets Henri (Féodor Atkine), an ethnologist, who is not looking for more than a little sex, and falls for him instead. Meanwhile, Pauline (Amanda Langlet) meets a boy her age, Sylvain (Simon de La Brosse) and is quite happy to have a boyfriend for the summer, even though she knows it will be a short-lived romance. Things are going well, with Pierre being the odd man out, when life is complicated by the candy lady, Louisette (Rosette), who sells candy and peanuts on the beach. Pauline and Marion are off playing tourist for the day, and Henri brings Louisette home for some variety. Sylvain is also there waiting on Pauline.

Pierre sees a very naked Louisette through Henri's bedroom window, then Marion arrives, Sylvain warns Henri, and Henri shoves Louisette and Sylvain into the bathroom. When Marion sees Louisette, Henri tells her that it was Sylvain that was with her. From then on, things get complicated.

Dombasle, who looks absolutely edible in this film, shows her breasts in several scenes, pokes our of most of her outfits, and shows most of her buns in a bathing suit. Rosette shows all three Bs through the bedroom window.

Although it can be, at times, talky, and the teenagers are the most honest and least complicated characters in the story, I found it an absorbing look at the differences between men and women, and one of the best explanations I have ever seen as to why nice guys never get the girl.

True, it is very French, half coming of age and half romantic comedy, but I found it a complete delight.
