# Manina, the Girl in the Bikini (1952)

1952 · 86 min · Drama, Romance · France

Original title: Manina, la fille sans voiles

## Synopsis

Manina, the Girl in the Bikini released in the UK as Manina, the Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter), is a 1952 French film directed by Willy Rozier and starring Brigitte Bardot, Jean-François Calvé and Howard Vernon. The film is one of Bardot's first film roles, at the age of 17 and was controversial for the scanty bandeau-top bikinis worn by the young Bardot in the film, one of the first occasions when a bikini had appeared in film and when the bikini was still widely considered immodest.
