This film marked the feature debut of Roger Vadim, an assistant to director Marc Allégret and occasional reporter for Paris Match, with Vadim exploiting Brigitte Bardot's lusty innocence to cash in on postwar French society's penchant for juvenile rebellion.
When the film was released in the United States by Kingsley-International Pictures in 1957, it pushed the boundaries of the representation of sexuality in American cinema, and most available prints of the film were heavily edited to conform with the Hays Code censorial standards.
