BRIGITTE BARDOT (1956) - Cette Sacrée Gamine - track 4

According to Roger Vadim, the producer Mr Senaumd had heard of a successful last minute rewrite Vadim did on Julietta and asked Vadim to perform a similar function on this film, which had been sold to Italy, but whose script star Jean Bretonniere did not like. Vadim agreed provided his then-wife Brigitte Bardot was cast as the female lead and if Michel Boisrond, René Clair’s first assistant director, would direct. Vadim later wrote “for the first time, Brigitte played a character written for her, in modern language; and she had a classically trained director who was making his first film. The film was a box-office hit in France, being the 12th most popular movie of the year. It was slightly more popular than And God Created Woman which Vadim directed later that year.
