Bujold made her screen debut in the small film "The Adolescents" (1964) before heading across the ocean to France. Director Alain Resnais saw her play Puck in a French production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and signed her to co-star opposite Yves Montand in "La Guerre est finie" (1965). Bujold made two more films in France, playing Alan Bates' love interest, an asylum inmate, in the cult hit "King of Hearts" (1966), and appearing in Louis Malle's "The Thief of Paris" (1967). For the latter, she was proclaimed the French film industry's "Discovery of the Year", winning the Prix Suzanne Bianchetti. She ... caught the eye of US producers. Bujold played "St. Joan" in a 1967 NBC "Hallmark Hall of Fame" rendition of the Shaw play, and returned to Canada to star in "Isabel" (1967), the first of five films for then-husband Paul Almond.
