This movie created her as a "sex kitten" in the world.When the film was released in the United States by distributor Kingsley-International Pictures in 1957, it pushed the boundaries of the representation of sexuality in American cinema, making Bardot an overnight sensation. It was condemned by the Catholic League of Decency. To this day, the scene of Bardot dancing barefoot on a table is considered by some to be one of the most erotic scenes in the history of cinema. The Vatican forbade the movie and condemned all people who came to see it. In USA the movie is fobidden in some cinema. In Spain and Russia the movie is completly forbidden. In Universal Exhibition in Brussels in 1958, bardot is represented by the Vatican as the seven deadly sins.
