Also Known As: The Female; A Woman Like Satan

Directed by: Julien Duvivier

Synopsis: A lesser known version of the Pierre Louÿs novel, in which ravishing Brigitte Bardot plays Eva Marchand, a tousle haired temptress who humiliates wealthy Don Matteo Diaz (Antonio Vilar), and leads the helpless masochist to jump through a sustained series of hoops in a conflicted effort to win her bounteous favors.

Purr Blur: On her way to secure new lodgings and to manipulate a new victim, Eva strides past a vocal street cat.

Final Mewsings: The meowing cat was paying homage to the unparalleled sex kitten of the silver screen.
