Life of a Movie Star
With her appearance in Et Dieu… Créa La Femme, Bardot’s career skyrocketed. She couldn’t walk down the streets without being mobbed by her new admirers. The explicit feature was controversial, yet it also established a new bar for what might be termed “erotic” in the movie business.
She and her husband became famous worldwide as a result of it, but there was also criticism. The film was called “neglected in character” and “unfairly thinly textured.” Bardot, on the other hand, was complimented for her charisma and beauty.
