Dear Brigitte is a 1965 American family-comedy starring James Stewart and directed by Henry Koster.

Plot

Stewart stars as Prof. Robert Leaf, an American college professor, with a genius son, the precocious Erasmus (Bill Mumy). After using his skills for gambling at the racetrack, Erasmus becomes infatuated with model and actress Brigitte Bardot (who plays herself in the film). Through his love letters, Erasmus is invited to visit Brigitte France, and Stewart follows along. Prof. Leaf is using his son's talent to raise funds for liberal arts college scholarships with the assistance of con-man Peregrine Upjohn who plans to abscond with the funds.
