The Girl In The Bikini

 

CD

 

"The biggest female name in cinema, Brigitte Bardot is the embodiment of all that is sensuous and exciting about fifties and sixties pop culture. This is the soundtrack to 'The Girl in the Bikini', Brigitte's second film made in 1952. The original vinyl edition of this album is an almost impossible rarity; amongst the most sought after of all Bardot artifacts. Brigitte Bardot's enormous international reputation is based on her incredble beauty and intelligence and the work she did in film with Roger Vadim and in Pop with Serge Gainsbourg. Brigitte Bardot-the name has generated headlines and cinema queues over five decades. Her very initials are known far and wide and signal instant revolution in films, fashion, lifestyles, sexuality. She is undoubtedly one of he most famous Frenchwomen of all and there has rarely been any woman from anywhere creating such an impact on her times-reverberating still in her retirement, as film-makers and actresses, designers and jet-setters,continue to pour through the doors of permissivity she kicked open with elan. Credible with every pop generation. simply a living legend".

 

"An exuberant and sensual jazz soundtrack" by Jean Yatove.
