    Girl in the Bikini, The (1952)

    When 25-year old Parisian student, Gérard Morere (Jean-François Calvé), hears a lecture about a treasure lost in the Mediterranean after the Peloponnesian War, he thinks he knows where it is, thanks to a discovery he made five years before when diving near the island of Lavezzi.

    He gets friends and an innkeeper to invest in his trip to Tangiers where he convinces a cigarette smuggler, Eric (Howard Vernon), to take him to the island.

    There he finds Manina (Brigitte Bardot in her first starring film role), the lighthouse keeper’s beautiful 18-year-old daughter.

    Originally released as Manina, La Fille Sans Voile.
