Our take
For his final big-screen feature, Roger Vadim returned to one his greatest hits, borrowing the title but none of the plot from his sensational 1956 debut. Rebecca De Mornay inherits the bombshell lead role from an iconic Brigitte Bardot, in a smoldering drama that circles the boundaries of noir.
