And God Created Woman is a 1988 American comedy-drama film directed by Roger Vadim in his final theatrical release and starring Rebecca De Mornay, Vincent Spano and Frank Langella.

It has the same title as the 1956 French film Et Dieu… créa la femme (And God created woman) starring Brigitte Bardot, also directed by Vadim, but has a completely different story.

She manages to escape, but mistakenly hitches a ride in the limo of James Tiernan, a politician who was visiting the prison as part of his campaign for governor.

While changing back into prison clothes, Robin meets Billy Moran, a carpenter and handyman who is doing work in the compound under supervision that is supposed to keep him isolated from the female inmates.

Vadim announced his plan to make a new version of And God Created Woman in 1983 along with producers George Braunstein and Ron Hamady.

The basic situation involves a young woman whose amoral escapades make her an outsider, the pink wold in the herd.

[3] RJ Stewart was reported as writing on a script with Diane Lane mentioned as a leading contender for the star role.

[5]Roger Vadim stated during filming: What is important for me here is once again to tell the story of a sexy, funny and somewhat outrageous young woman within a social context.

Rich people, artists, blue collar and Indian - different parts of the society mix together, which was true of St Tropez before it became the circus it is now.

Robin, the girl in the film, claims all these freedoms - in a way that's cerebral, she's aware of her personality, while Bardot behaved totally instinctively.

... To bestow credit where it is due, And God Created Woman gives Santa Fe the most luxuriant exposure it has ever received on the screen.

The new version won't cause as big a splash, but a smart travel agent could make a few quick bucks instituting a behind-the-scenes Woman tour.

[11] De Mornay was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress, where she lost to Liza Minnelli for both Arthur 2: On the Rocks and Rent-a-Cop.
