Criterion Trailer 77: ... And God Created Woman

[amwest0509]

Man I'm still tripping off how that Guy slapped her like 5 times. I mean really was all that necessary.

[MrSlitskirts]

A lovely woman who still communicates to us through her movies today............

[kovik62]

This was the first Brigitte Bardot movie I saw, and while there's no denying that she made other great ones, AND GOD CREATED WOMAN is still the quintessential BB film for me.

[winniversal]

This film was initially banned In my home state of Delaware. Brigitte's exposed butt was deemed pornographic in 1958 and a the Manager of the Edgemoor theater was threatened with jail and censure of the film if he showed it again. Luckly the censure was found unconstitutional and although the Manager could be jailed they could not stop the film from being shown.

@Trolltergeist

Sorry, It seems my answer didn't work out, so I put it again...

And now is appears twice...

Mystery of YT :-)

[caesiume]

There is nothing worse in this world than a dubbed movie.

[condensedclassics]

She worked her sexuality like a fine instrument, which is no small feat. Today there's only one female performer with that type of sexual electricity; Shakira.

[doetim]

Her nick name should be just "the sex symbol" so when people say "sex symbol" no one has to wonder which one they're talking about . Certain things are just so definitive in life.

[shazzam29]

@doetim true! i wish people would stop using the "sex kitten" for other people. that was an original term used first on her. haha it was actually an insult used by older traditonal folks of the 1950s but today its a compliment!

[64098]

This film looks so new and beautiful for its age. Bardot looks like every sex fantasy from the last hundred years.

1:07  LOVE the top

[eatsandsleeps]

Gotta love Criterion

[condensedclassics]

This 1957 film with its first scene displaying Bardot lying nude beneath the Mediterranean with her dishevelled blonde mane & sex kitten pout and her tanned unclothed body, she anticipated the 60's three years before they began. The success of this film made her an instant legend and BB's life became public property. There have been many imitators since her but no equals.

[joeasmythe]

She is a real woman, nothing at all like Hanoi Jane fonda

[mattmayte5]

real now, yes. but definatly not then.

[robertotisfuller]

I had read that Bardot had to replace her shoes after filming because her feet had calloused and thickened from going barefoot on hard surfaces all the time. It must have hurt the guy in that scene where she steps on that guy's face because her feet were hard like a kickboxer's.

[robertotisfuller]

Bardot is barefoot in just about every scene. I wonder if this is unique to the character or if this was common practivce for young women in French coastal towns.

[viralgurl]

it is unique to the character....i just read an article about this film in a school book. :)

[robertotisfuller]

Do you remember what book?

[robertotisfuller]

What explanation did the book give?

[hebneh]

"A demon-driven temptress"!

[franciscan2007]

this lady is so racist sorry for her...she is a symbol but with bad attittude sorry but better than thoses shits pam anderson paris and britny lidsy lohen hahha

[TheMidnightOriginal]

Brigitte Has Nice Arches On Her Pretty Barefeet!!!

[ifasmile]

Fortunately I speak French, and the dubbing is... a f... mistake !

If you don't understand Voltaire's language, better use subtitles...

[Trolltergeist]

@ifasmile I recently learned in a film class that this film was imported to the US in an era where the main reason why the US imported foreign films was for their sexual content. On the myth that Europe was more sexually liberal, US distributors spent more of their efforts advertising and highlighting the sexual themes of films (even if they weren't even that sexual to begin with). So unfortunately, while I wouldn't say the subs are intentionally bad, I would say that they were done carelessly.

[ifasmile]

@Trolltergeist

Well, so all is said :-)

ps I'm not sure it was only a myth...

[ifasmile]

@Trolltergeist

Well, so all is said :-)

But personaly I'm not sure it was only a myth...

[ifasmile]

@Trolltergeist

Well, so all is said :-)

Personally I'm not sure it was only a myth...

[genatzvalee]

I remember I read terrible reviews of this film, & when I finally watched it I was surprised - it turned to be so much better than expected! BB is a sex kitten, she made a real revolution on screen. Noone was that bold before her. Trintignant is a nice little man. I liked all about this film. BB & Jean-Lou fell in love with eachother during the filming, but broke up bcos BB started affair with Gilbert Becaud... pity.

And I personally like the voice BB is dubbed by, it's okay.

[TheMidnightOriginal]

I Always Truly Wanted To See A Real Remake Of This Film With Pam Anderson Playing Brigitte Bardots Part I Think That Would Have Been A Better Choice For Pam Rather Than Barb Wire!!!

[yellowwasp09]

man do you have a brain or are you some ten year old ?

[TheMidnightOriginal]

I'd Rather See Pam Dance Than Fight Crime You Ignorant Fuck!!!

[yellowwasp09]

why see a c(b is too good) movie actress ruin this great movie you retard.

[TheMidnightOriginal]

The Only Thing Great About This Movie Is The Sexy Bardot Dance Scene And You Can't Tell Me Pam Couldn't Dance As Sexy As Bardot!!!

[yellowwasp09]

she can dance in every movie that is not a remake of this

[TheMidnightOriginal]

Oh Yes She Can (Oh Boy She Can)!!!

[doetim]

And God Created Woman is the single greatest "eye candy" guilty pleasure in the history of world cinema.

[martinecarol67]

she is so beautiful

[jomattia]

is Bardot dubbed by Jane Fonda? sounds like her.

[Crazypom2]

It does.I wonder.......

[scotpens]

Definitely not Jane Fonda, though it does sound vaguely like her. Bardot's voice was probably dubbed by some 40-year-old American woman from Kansas City.

[Crazypom2]

Come to think of it ,probably......Thanxs!!!

[encabronx]

BB IS FOREVER

[michel7773]

OMG her voice dub is awful, nothing like her achingly sexy French voice.

[coralarch]

michel773, the same was done to Pia Degermark's lovely swedish voice- it made me cringe. Why don't they just use sub-titles?

[michel7773]

I totally agree. In French, there is an expression: "une voix mieilleuse", a voice like honey, which Bardot had.  The woman who dubbed her voice sounds like a lesbian from Brooklyn. No offence...

[coralarch]

Michel7773 - ROTFLMAO

[aknowneemus]

the overdubbed voice sounds like jane fonda.

[doetim]

@michel7773 A lesbian from Brooklyn...LOL!

[patramostra]

TODO!

[Oualtaire]

The film that made Brigitte Bardot a world star...
