And God Created Woman

The astounding success of Roger Vadim’s And God Created Woman revolutionised the life of French films abroad, turned Brigitte Bardot into an international star and launched Saint-Tropez as the new hype holiday destination. Bardot stars as Juliette, an 18-year-old orphan whose unbridled appetite for pleasure shakes up all of St. Tropez; her sweet but naive husband Michel (Jean-Louis Trintignant) endures beatings, insults, and mambo in his attempts to tame her wild ways.

The film created a scandal at the time, especially in the US where it was dubbed ‘God Created Woman but the Devil created Brigitte Bardot!’
