And God Created Woman (1957)
Genre(s): Sex & Sexuality
Cast: Brigitte Bardot, Curt Jurgens, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Christian Marquand; DIRECTED BY: Roger Vadim; PRODUCER: Raoul J. Levy;
Review: Launching pad for Bardot's career as a sex siren, as she flits across the screen in a succession of scanty outfits and hangs out at the St. Tropez beach in what is euphemistically known as a swimsuit while turning up the heat for the males always in attendance. The plot concerns an 18-year-old nymphomaniac who is given a home by a local family with three handsome young sons. A cutting-edge sex film in its time that was boffo at the boxoffice. In French with English subtitles.
