Looking back it’s hard to see what all the fuss was about. The image was at once playful and provocative: an attractive young woman half-dressed, twisting a string of pearls as she lounged suggestively on a wicker chair. It was the ad poster that would make Emmanuelle a huge international cinema success, and a young wanabee model named Sylvia Kristel a household name. ‘Twelve million Frenchmen stood in line for it!’ the US trailer breathlessly intoned, while one cinema on the Champs-Élyséess...
