A unique, fifty track, two disc set, that from Manina, la fille sans voile (The Girl in the Bikini) in 1952, charts the first decade of Brigitte Bardot's career in films, encompassing the scores of such controversial productions as Roger Vadim's ..And God Created Woman, the film that turned her into a global sensation, and her first pop single, Sidonie, which Bardot performed in the autobiographical Vie Privée, Louis Malle's eloquent commentary on celebrity which explored Bardot's troubled love life and revealed the media's endless and often painful intrusions into her privacy.

Cinema had never before encountered such potent eroticism as that of Bardot. Her child-woman innocence and the daring naturalness of her attitude somehow made it all the more shocking. Here was a new kind of woman, untamed and untroubled by conventional morality.

While the quality of Bardot's work in the cinema will continue to be a matter for debate, it cannot be argued that her she did everything to encourage the era's oncoming sexual revolution.
