The Blonde and Brunette Girls
Why were they fighting in the studio? That never made sense to me.

shareWhich of the two girls was Jane Birkin? The one with the dark/light green dress, or the one with the white/blue dress?
I actually thought the latter might have been her, because Jane Birkin has brown hair, not blonde hair.

IMDb's credits say Jane Birkin was the blonde.
shareI still can hardly believe that this was two years before she became the most famous English-speaking actress based in France. She made one more film in her native Britain a year later, Wonderwall, (with music by George Harrison of The Beatles).
In 1968, she moved to France, hooked up with Serge Gainsbourg during the making of her first film there, Slogan, and the rest was history.
To update this history she married me and we have fantastic sex together.
shareBoth Gillian Hills and Jane Birkin became pop singers in France. Jane's marriage to Serge Gainsbourg arguably made her more famous, and along with that she continued modeling, to imo great effect - great looking girl. But Gillian Hills was the better singer.
Gillian also had a small but memorable part in A Clockwork Orange as one of the two girls Alex picks up in the music store and brings back to his bedroom for a 3some of the old in out.
are you fuc#ing kidding me, oh yes! I'm so excited, happy, and pleased that she is one of those girls. I say this because her nudity and her boobs exposure in this film is extremely annoying and extremely unsatisfying. I found her more attractive and more beautiful than Jane Birkin in this film. and I can't believe that that was Jane Birkin as Jane Birkin looked completely different in the '70s compared to in this film.
shareJane Birkin definitely is the blonde girl (I stopped the film a few times to study her physiognomy (sp?)).
I think she looked even better with blonde hair than later with dark hair.
BTW nobody in this thread mentioned yet that she became very famous through the French song "Je t'aime...moi non plus" which caused quite a scandal. It was played on all fêtes I went to during my high school years in Germany. And of course they played it in every discothèque.
Gainsbourg recorded it 2 years before with Brigitte Bardot, but she didn't want it to be released, so he did it once more with Birkin:

exactly. why were they fighting? but the thing that really irked me and really frustrated me was why was the blonde at first so against him taking her clothes off and touching her but then a second later is playfully letting him take her clothes off and having a blast with him? you can't be uncomfortable with a guy if you are a girl and then just a second later completely change and get frisky and flirty and have fun with him.
shareThe whole thing was a fantasy in Thomas's head. Partway through, he changed his mind about what kind of fantasy to have.
The movie is full of things that don't make sense until you realize that it's all happening in his imagination.
I think once he got the blonde to drop her arms and saw her chest, she brought the brunette into by saying "she's got a better figure than me!" And now I'm guessing that the light turned green at that point. Well the brunette put up a bit of a struggle at first, but I think Thomas just let them playfully go at it (removing the brunette's top) and then their bottoms came off too.
