It was only the 18-year-old Bardot s second movie appearance but already her sensuality and screen presence is more than evident on the frames. The French were almost exclusively privy to viewing the film for many years until 1957 when And God Made Woman would transform Bardot into an international phenomenon.This DVD for the first time in REMASTERED EDITION presents a significant piece of cinematic history a visual document of the superstar before she achieved vast global fame.System Requirements:Run Time: 86 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 873820000334 Manufacturer No: SKDDV638902 Product Description

If anybody must get credit for popularizing the bikini in the world it is French actress Brigitte Bardot. BB isn't just The Bikini Girl, she's the first to wear that title.

I really enjoyed this movie even though I can't understand a word of French, Bardot speaks the universal language. While it has an interesting storyline, I cannot recommend the use of subtitles, they interfere with seeing Brigette! Very well filmed in black and white. June 24, 2007

rating: 3 QuoteThe English censors felt compelled to cut 29 of the 86 minutes of this film...Quote
Bardot was the newly discovered teenager, the rebel against strict bourgeois upbringing, the woman who takes her pleasure with whom she chooses, and follows her own inclinations and desires...

By the time Bardot's second film, "Manina, la fille sans voile" was released in 1952, the blushing teenager had fallen by the wayside; instead there emerged a brave, wilder girl, liberated from the repressed rules of society...

The eroticism displayed by Bardot throughout this film was undeniably challenging, though the fashions may seem rather absolute today...

The impact she made may be measured by the fact that English censors felt compelled to cut 29 of the 86 minutes of this film...
