Roger Vadim's directorial debut And God Created Woman is more titillation than continental cool, but it broke box-office records and censorship taboos in its teasing display of sex and eroticism in the sunny vacation playground of the Saint-Tropez seashore. Vadim ushered in the era of continental attitudes toward sex and christened the voluptuous Brigitte Bardot (his wife) the world's original sex kitten: earthy, innocent, and all fleshy curves. Bardot is Juliette, a pouty child-woman orphan prone to nude sunbathing and playful flirting. Though pursued by a rich widower (Curt Jurgens) and attracted to the brawny fisherman Antoine (Christian Marquand), she marries Antoine's shy younger brother Michel (Jean-Louis Trintignant), an earnest, innocent kid hardly older than she but far less worldly. Despite her sincere efforts to "be good," Juliette gives in to Michel's advances, setting off a chain of events that ends in fraternal conflict. Vadim keeps the display of skin this side of an R rating, but only barely, teasing the male audience with skimpy outfits, barely concealing sheets, and often conveniently arranged scenery. Bohemian Bardot frolics through the film with nary a self-conscious moment, culminating in a passionate mambo, her pent-up frustration and sexual confusion exploding in a mad dance as bongos pound away on the soundtrack. Who needed Viagra in the '50s when Bardot was around? --Sean Axmaker

AND GOD CREATED WOMAN-BRIGITTE BARDOT-. The Almighty One,certainly did wonders with BB,the 1950s French sex kitten.
ET DIEU CREAU LA FEMME is its French title,filmed in glorious colour amongst some stunning St.Tropez
locations. In 1956,this film made BB into an international film star[and quite rightly so],for she is
just such a stunning blonde beauty,and a fine figure of a woman.
BB is Juliette Hardy,a young,beautiful lady who is prone to nude sunbathing and flirting[that's very fine by me BB].
She fancies fisherman Antoine[Christian Marquand]but she is being pursued by rich widower Eric[Curd Jurgens]but instead
she marries Antoine's younger brother Michel[Jean-Louis Trintignant].
Juliette tries to be a good and faithful wife but gives into her[now]brother-in-law's advances,setting off fraternal conflict
and tragic consequences. A film full of life and mambo dancing and teasing glimpses of the stunning beauty Brigitte Bardot.
The film is in superb condition,playing in French with English subtitles.
Regards,Bill.

I have just seen this film for the first time and therefore do not bring any lingering nostalgia in assessing it.
One can easily see the effect Brigitte Bardot had fifty years ago, she certainly exudes sex appeal and displays as much of her gorgeous body as was allowed at the time. However the drama calls for at least some explicit scenes to create the correct frisson for todays audiences, and add to this a mediocre screen play and you have a historical curiosity.
Probably most suitable for Bardot fans and cinema historians, not the general film fan.
