1.0 out of 5 stars
5-star Bardort classic in VHS resolution on DVD Media, December 19, 2009
This review is from: And God Created Women (COLLECTOR'S EDITION) 1956 (DVD)
Dear Amazon:
NOTE: (Not a review of the Criterion release - the one to buy)
I request a full refund of this BIG Productions DVD since it is actually a poor quality VHS movie (240 lines of horizontal resolution) transferred to DVD media. Even the credits are blurry. TV resolution of 330 lines is better than this.
The movie is not really anamorphic since there is not enough horizontal resolution to even fill a 21-inch screen and still be reasonably satisfying to view. On a 50-inch plasma you will see a 32" x 24" picture of poor VHS quality.
The package is incorrect: it has two images each with Bardot; a third image shows Eli Wallach and Carrol Baker from the 1956 film Baby Doll. Obviously, BIG Productions is totally incompetant and irresponsible, and therefore must not be allowed to sell any DVDs on Amazon.

And God Created Woman, December 8, 2010
This review is from: And God Created Women (COLLECTOR'S EDITION) 1956 (DVD)
Have to agree with another viewer; This is supposed to be a "Collectors Edition" yet the cover and cover detail makes it look like very poor quality. I HOPE the movie itself is not inferior. If it is, you will be advised.
Disappointed long time Amazon customer Allen T Barnett. Sydney Australia
Alas, after viewing movie and am EVEN MORE DISAPPOINTED in quality and production.
Urge you to withdraw from sale and CHECK BEFORE CALLING ANY DVD A COLLECTORS EDITION! That is NOT true!!!!!
Again, Allen Barnett

Brigitte Bardot's breakout performance, October 14, 2009
This review is from: And God Created Women (COLLECTOR'S EDITION) 1956 (DVD)
This film could be one of the most explosive erotic films of all time. It seems that a lot of the reviews that I read prior to seeing this film where not great but I wanted to see it anyway because I am a huge fan of Brigitte Bardot.
I am very glad that I didn't listen to them. Shot it an untouched place called Cote d'Azur, the photography is just amazing. The story is interesting and the wit is unmistakenly French. Bardot plays her character brilliantly with reckless abandon. The cult-scene of the movie is a dance scene that is so seductive you can see why it was so scandelous and why Europe recieved the film in a negative way.
This is a great example of an early film that made a splash and turned some heads in a time when censorship was done by morals and not controlled by the government. A great film and a very respectable version.
