Et Dieu... Créa la Femme (1956)
Director: Roger Vadim
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Cautiously titled And Woman...Was Created for its British release, this was the film that started the Bardot thing. Basically a clever piece of pre-New Wave programming with its St Tropez locations, 'daring' sex and amoral youth, it adds up to little more than a series of semi-nude posturings as the sex kitten flits nymphomaniacally from man to man and back again. But the lively characterisations and wry wit make the first half a good deal more watchable than most of Vadim's abject later creations.Author:
