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 was quick to capitalize. 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 Jazz/Mambo score by Paul Misraki creates the appropriate steamy atmosphere and in the first half of the program, Brigitte Bardot reads selections from the script in French. El. 2007.
