A year later, Bardot was the "Great exercises, next to Philip Gerard and Michelle Morgan.

And waited in front of her triumph. At the end of 1955 Bordeaux at the beginning of the film shot that was destined to loud and somewhat scandalous fame, - "And God created woman ..." The script written specifically for the Roger Vadim. It is in this movie, its star has risen. Brigitte has created this new type of "girl, who then becomes her" type "and that within a decade will be to imitate the French youth. Bold, independent, feels his power over men, flushed with the southern sun, sea and zovom flesh, it is an affront to the hypocritical morality and proclaims to enjoy life.

The film "And God created woman ..." is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. And this applies especially to the young heroine Juliette: fronderstvom for her and show her amoralizmom hides itself, could be, did not realize the dream of an ideal lover, which would have given it not only physical pleasure, but also tenderness and a sense of reliability.

With the advent of BB the world is an erotic time. Jane Fund announced in the magazine "Playboy": "film" And God created woman "was one of the first who spoke about the sexual freedom of women."
