...And God Created Woman [Et Dieu... créa la femme] (Original photograph from the 1956 film)
- Paris: Cocinor, 1956
Paris: Cocinor, 1956. Vintage studio still photograph from the 1956 film.
The culmination of director Roger Vadim's fascination with Brigitte Bardot. The pair had been dating since 1950 (when she was 15 years old and he was 22) and were married in 1952. The film remains one of the most single-minded tributes to an actress by a film auteur, and in twentieth century film-obsessed France, there was perhaps never a more celebrated cinematic couple. The two would part ways the following year amidst rumors of affairs, but remained close friends.
Shot on location in Saint-Tropez, France.
10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with a small tear at the center of the bottom edge.
Criterion Collection 77.
