We can't recommend this little item as a sample of the best in Gallic films. It is clumsily put together and rather bizarrely played.

The directorial debut of Roger Vadim is more titillation than continental cool, but its teasing display of sex and eroticism in the sunny vacation playground of the St. Tropez seashore ushered in the era of continental attitudes toward sex.

Brigitte Bardot as a wanton creature of nature driven men mad on the Riviera. The most absurd caricature of sex since Theda Bara.

A film that most certainly is not a masterpiece but that rises clearly -- from a moral point of view as well as from an intellectual or aesthetic point of view -- above the average.

...a social document of the ways that a woman's allure can fuel, destroy, and build the dreams of men who fall under her spell.

By today's standards the film is tame, but back in 1956, Vadim's feature debut was sensational and scandalous, catapulting Brigitte Bardot (who was married to Vadim) to the status of international sex icon.

Beautiful, sensual and arguably quite negative toward women, this movie is still a delight for the senses. The symbolism is a tad obvious but it’s very much worth a watch, particularly as an opportunity to see mores around Eros in flux

Waited 68 years to see this and it was worth it. Remember when it came out back in 1956 but never got around to watching it. Glad I did. Not great but Bardot is at her peak here.

I liked it more than I thought I would; Bardot delivers, and the message is unexpectedly uplifting. Not a great film, but it does have its moments in Bardot’s performance and Trintignant’s tender persistence. The Mediterranean climate and look of the film kept me watching through the slower parts, and the whole of it has that lazy, slow, hot summer day feeling, when all you hear are the cicadas, and you start to feel a little loopy …

Bardot is as beautiful as the title implies, but the movie is mediocre in every aspect
