And God Created Woman/Et Dieu... Créa la Femme (1956) - And she's still a mystery!

♥♥♥♥

 

Warm colors encased in cool blue and the orgiastic face of a painted version of Brigitte Bardot defines this original French poster for Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman

Juliette is a wild young woman, who doesn't waste her time in terms of taking partners. But she can only avoid getting sent back to a restrictive boarding school by marrying. And so that's what she does, although everyone advises the groom against the marriage.

 

And God Created Woman is written by co-writer/producer Raoul Lévy (Babette Goes to War/Babette s'en Va-t-en Guerre (1959)) and debuting co-writer/director Roger Vadim (Barbarella (1968))

The film is a look inside the life of a tempestuous, sexually active woman, and it serves as a salute to women in general, despite her rebellious nature. Brigitte Bardot (Babette Goes to War (1959)) in her fruitful figure is lovely. And God Created Woman also has a French movie magic about it that was around sometimes in its period. The romance, sexuality and the mystery in And God Created Woman is above all vivid.

[And God Created Woman was released 28 November (France) and runs 95 minutes. Vadim was inspired by a crime story of a trial against a woman who had had an affair with three brothers and killed one of them. Levy secured finance from Colombia Pictures, provided that Curt Jurgens (Nutty, Naughty Chateau/Château en Suède (1963)) be cast. Shooting took place in France from May - July 1956. The film sold impressive 3.9 mil. admissions in France; it was one of the ten biggest hits in the UK; and in the US it became the highest-grossing foreign release ever at the time with a 4 mil. $ gross. It was screened in censored versions in the US, where it was wildly controversial. Vadim returned with No Sun in Venice/Sait-on Jamais... (1957). Bardot returned in La Parisienne (1957); Curd Jurgens in The House of Intrigue/Londra Chiama Polo Nord (1956); Jean-Louis Trintignant (Les Passagers (1977)) in Club de Femmes (1956). And God Created Woman is fresh at 75 % with a 6.58/10 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]
