| biography:
| Film director, born in Paris, France. His sensational Et Dieu créa la femme (1956, And God Created Woman), starring his wife Brigitte Bardot as a sex-kitten, was a massive box-office success, and paved the way for further sex-symbol presentations of his later wives, Annette Stroyberg in Les Liaisons dangereuses (1959, Dangerous Liaisons), Jane Fonda in Barbarella (1968), and his lover, Catherine Deneuve, in La Vice et la vertue (1962, Vice and Virtue). His later US productions, Night Games (1979) and Surprise Party (1983), did not arouse the same degree of interest. |
