And God Created Woman

And God Created Woman (French title: Et Dieu... créa la femme) is a 1956 French movie, directed by Roger Vadim and starring Brigitte Bardot. It is widely recognized as the vehicle that launched Bardot into the public spotlight and immediately created her "sex kitten" persona.

When the film was released to the United States in 1957 by film distributor Kingsley-International Pictures, it pushed the boundaries of sex in film in American cinema, making Bardot an overnight sensation. To this day, the scene of Bardot dancing barefoot on a table is considered by some to be one of the most erotic scenes in the history of cinema.
