Brigitte Bardot : And God Created Woman
And God Created Woman
acmem98cd

'And God Created Woman' is the soundtrack to the notorious 1956 film that made Brigitte Bardot the sex symbol of her generation and propelled her to International stardom.

It was condemned by the Church and created scandal everywhere. Bardot's then husband and film director Roger Vadim - 'Barbarella', was quick to capitalise. It made a fortune and changed the face of cinema.

Jane Fonda called it "the first cinematic blow for women's liberation" and as a landmark in French cinematic culture is considered the film that ushered in the 'New Wave'.

The jazzy/mambo score by Paul Misraki ('Alphaville') creates the appropriate steamy atmosphere and in the first half of the programme Brigitte Bardot reads selections from the script in French.

Brigitte Bardot : The Girl In The Bikini
The Girl In The Bikini
acmem81cd

The biggest female name in cinema, Brigitte Bardot is the embodiment of all that is sensuous and exciting about fifties and sixties pop culture. This is the soundtrack to "The Girl in the Bikini", Brigitte's second film made in 1952. The original vinyl edition of this album is an almost impossible rarity; amongst the most sought after of all Bardot artifacts. Brigitte Bardot's enormous international reputation is based on her incredble beauty and intelligence and the work she did in film with Roger Vadim and in Pop with Serge Gainsbourg. Brigitte Bardot-the name has generated headlines and cinema queues over five decades. Her very initials are known far and wide and signal instant revolution in films, fashion, lifestyles, sexuality. She is undoubtedly one of he most famous Frenchwomen of all and there has rarely been any woman from anywhere creating such an impact on her times-reverberating still in her retirement, as film-makers and actresses, designers and jet-setters,continue to pour through the doors of permissivity she kicked open with elan. Credible with every pop generation. simply a living legend.
