I recently finished a freelance writing assignment about Brigitte Bardot. In writing about her, I realized I had never actually seen any of her films, so I decided to watch And God Created Woman. This wasn’t her first film, but it was probably the one that rocketed her to fame and cemented her reputation as … read more
