REVIEW: Roger Vadim’s directorial debut broke box=office records and censorship taboos in its teasing display of eroticism in the sunny vacation playground of St. Tropez seashore. It also made Brigitte Bardot an international star.
Bardot is Juliette, cinema’s original sex kitten, a sumptuous orphan beauty who delights in nude sunbathing and playful flirting. Though pursued by a rich widower (Curd Jurgens) and attracted to the brawny fisherman Antoine (Christian Marquand), she marries Antoine’s shy younger brother Michel (Jean-Louis Trintignant). Despite her sincere efforts to “be good”, Juliette gives in to Antoine’s advances, setting off a chain of events that ends in fraternal conflict. The film climaxes in Bardot’s passionate mambo dance, her pent -up frustration and sexual confusion exploding as bongos pound away on the soundtrack.
