Goddard at his best., 7 June 2005
9/10
Author: elhaarpo62 from United States

Must see for fans of either Bardot or Goddard. Criterion edition packed full of useful extras. The film first appears to be very dull and boring but has to be watched a second or third time to be fully appreciated. One of Bardot's finest works next to Le'Verite. A special treat is to watch the master Fritz Lang at work. The whole idea that Goddard was able to convince him to get involved with this film is a testament to the fact that quality film making does not fade over time. Also filming on location in these exotic locations was an added bonus to see along with Bardot who at this point in her career was seriously considering retiring. Awesome film and a pleasure to watch.
