More bold! More brazen! And much, much more Bardot!
Drama, Romance· Directed by Jean-Luc Godard· 103 min
Overview
Art film producer Jeremy Prokosch, unhappy with the work of his director, hires Fritz Lang (as himself) to direct an adaptation of The Odyssey, but when it seems that the legendary filmmaker is making a picture destined to bomb, he brings in a screenwriter to energise the script. The professional intersects with the personal when a rift develops between the writer and his wife.

UK Theatrical
- Bardot is the body beautiful... she knows it... and she shows it!
- Not Since "And God Created Woman" So Much Bardot... so much of the magic, the mystery, the animal magnetism that has made her the screen's most exciting woman!
