The Brigitte Bardot DVD Collection

Features five films from one of cinema's most notorious sex kittens--1956's "Naughty Girl," 1959's "Come Dance with Me," 1962's "Love on a Pillow," 1967's "Two Weeks in September" and 1969's "The Vixen," the latter of which neatly sums up the reason Bardot caused such a sensation when she first hit the screen in 1952.

Over the course of her career, the actress made 50 movies, a good deal of them middling efforts, which proves true for many of the films collected here, with the exception being "September," a good movie in which Bardot's character, a model in swinging London, is torn between her older husband and a younger man.

Missing is the actress' most notorious film, 1956's "And God Created Woman," in which she danced barefoot on a table--and turned herself into a phenomenon. But this collection, which is packaged in a white padded boxed set meant to resemble a pillow, nevertheless makes its point--even at Bardot's worst, it was impossible to look away from her.

Grade: B-
