La rage au corps

From the beginning of her career, Françoise Arnoul is a most talented and sexy artist, check the movie posters from the fifties. From her first movie, Sin and desire, she played a sexy character (sometimes showing her breast which was quite unique at that time) . She was soon joined by Brigitte Bardot, Claudine Dupuis, Dany Carel,... She was sometimes directed by good directors like Henri Verneuil, Carlo Rim, Pierre Chenal, Henri Decoin and even had the chance to be directed by Jean Renoir with Jean Gabin in French Cancan.

But this "Tempest of the flesh" is only directed by a minor director, Ralph Habib and it lacks energy, but it's still uncommon to see a movie dealing with nymphomania (check also la Fenêtre d'en face, with Brigitte Bardot just before she became a star with And God created Woman). Maybe this kind of melodrama is too much old fashioned today, but Françoise Arnoul' fans will jump on this one. Ralph Habib had already directed her and Raymond Pellegrin in the "Companions of the night" , another exploitation movie.
