Sensual, volatile, and melodramatic, the film belongs to that rich post-war European tradition in which desire, danger, and glamour are inseparable. Bardot’s presence is, of course, central: by this point she had become one of the most recognisable and controversial stars in world cinema, and films such as this helped define her image as a symbol of liberated, destructive, and irresistible femininity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"2040\"\u003ePoster design\u003cbr data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1315\"\u003eA stunning and highly displayable Japanese design built around an intimate, confrontational close-up of the two leads, with Bardot turned in profile in black lace and pale floral hair adornments, while Stephen Boyd faces her in a tense, near-embrace. The \u003cstrong data-start=\"1570\" data-end=\"1610\"\u003eenormous vertical red Japanese title\u003c\/strong\u003e down the left side gives the sheet tremendous visual force, while the reclining white line-drawn female figure at the bottom adds a stylish, almost poster-art flourish that feels distinctly of its era. The upper-right \u003cstrong data-start=\"1829\" data-end=\"1844\"\u003eCinemascope\u003c\/strong\u003e call-out and the rich colour printing complete the effect. This is exactly the kind of sophisticated, erotic European poster design that makes vintage Japanese first-release sheets so compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2042\" data-end=\"2138\"\u003eCondition\u003cbr data-start=\"2051\" data-end=\"2054\"\u003eExcellent.
