1. I saw "And God Created Woman" for the first time a few months ago.

I was too young at the time, although I do recall lots of talk about B.B., and later on we all wore "Brigitte Bardot" dresses - full-skirted check gingham dresses, with a low front filled in with lace.

But I thought it was a silly film, and I can only assume it must have appealed to a lot of repressed male libido at the time.
