Watch The Vixen For Free

What a beautiful movie!

To me, this movie is perfection.

So much average

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Yikes...this movie scares me a bit. Let me give you a bit of background. In this film, a best-selling author has writer's block, so his agent arranges to get him a personal secretary who will work with him, baby him and sleep with him--whatever this successful man needs. Why does that intimidate me? Well, my wife is a best-selling author and I sure hope she doesn't ask for something like this!! Considering how well her books have been selling, they might just give her one!! Maurice Ronet plays the author who is a complete pig. He is talented but also exceptionally shallow, as he cannot maintain a relationship with a woman. Instead, he uses them and the only thing he REALLY is interested in is sex....or wanting to possess a woman if another man wants her! Yet despite being a shallow pig, he's been able to have some amazing women in his life--women he was completely incapable of loving. He also, apparently, has no problem smacking one 'when she needs it'! Brigitte Bardot answers the ad in the paper for an assistant that is willing to act as a secretary AND sexual plaything! At first, she's offended but then rather inexplicably takes the job. Most of the time, she types up his memoirs--as he muses about his many shallow relationships. He doesn't see this as a problem--his only problem is that ultimately most of these women want commitment. Later, when he goes to bed and expects sex from his assistant, she is willing to follow the letter of the agreement. She is willing to sleep with him but puts absolutely nothing into this--lying there rigidly and putting no emotion into it. As a result, he's turned off and very frustrated--but she IS following the agreement. The longer this takes place, the more he wants her.Towards the end, for the first time, she begins to show interest in her piggish boss--and he shows less piggishness. And she runs to him and they finally make love. By this point I was VERY frustrated because of the bad message this gives to women. However, in a wonderful twist, the next day she is gone--and he, for once, is left alone and wanting commitment which he never is going to get. And so ends the movie--with a sad man who FINALLY realizes what he really needs from a woman.In many ways this reminds me of the Truffaut film "The Man Who Loved Women", though this film is a bit better than "The Vixen". One of the reasons was the dreadful organ music (organ music?!)--it just sounded cheap. Another, and this was WEIRD, but "The Vixen" had a bloody bullfight scene--which is weird considering Ms. Bardot's VERY public anti-animal cruelty stance.By the way, there is a lot of nudity in this film--something you may want to consider before watching it. And, as is typical of most of Bardot's films, the nudity is on the part of other women--in all of her scenes the naughty bits (a "Monty Python" term for nudity) are covered.

I saw this movie few days ago in a DVD the movie is long and not the best of Bardot movies but she is charming and beautiful as always, Brigitte look really good and at this time she was not pay much attention to the role she play or the movies she did she don't care anymore and she just was becoming a fashion icon and a singer , but i will recommended the movie for Bardot she look so beautiful and chic , Maurice Ronet another super star of the 60s play the lead he was by this time a real a star in Europe he was the leading lady of the time he has play opposite Sara Montiel ,Jeanne Moreau ,Catherine Denueuve , and Romy Schneider among s others

This is my first comment, and I am writing this review out of frustration reading such low ratings for this film by Jean Aurel. I have seen this film many times..., BB is so beautiful, but this is only the premium, the surplus value. Now, why this a good film ?... because the subject is well treated, with finesse. The main character, the writer, with his voice sometimes in off, sometimes dictating to his secretary (BB) explains his visions on women, relationships, broken relationships, freedom, writing, confusion, free love, man-woman behavior, marriage, man poetry with love and feelings, etc. Jean Aurel knows how to go deeper but stay human, fragile; and allow us to enjoy very good scenes, (it comes to mind, his girlfriend posing for pictures with this perfect wild jazz drumming. Superbe). No dull performances or out context. By the way, "Il a y deux femmes en vous"... It works all the time. I wonder if this film inspired L'homme qui aimait les femmes" by F. Truffaut. It seems to me Truffaut is paying tribute to Jean Aurel's great film. 8/10

Believe it or not, the only attractive parts of this movie are its credits. Shown in the very beginning and at the very end. Reason: they show Brigitte Bardot's lovely moving mouth, setting off its usual sparks. In between 'Les Femmes' is flat and uninspiring. Even Bardot's brief nude appearance does not change that.
