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.
