...vacuum of space, the properly suited explorer will have to be equipped with clothing that will let him work and move about actively. Outside a spaceship, where he may be called upon to make repairs, he will have to maneuver in zero gravity; his clothing will have toward off solar heating twice as strong as on the earth's surface. Any space suit will have to be equipped with a portable oxygen supply and its own air-conditioning apparatus...
...life. But the Hamilton Standard division of United Aircraft has come as close as anyone. Designed for use by astronauts of the Apollo moon project, Hamilton Standard's space suit is made of several layers of rubber-impregnated fabric interlaced with ducts and supporting wires. Put in a vacuum chamber for testing with no one inside it, the suit was "flown" up to simulated altitudes as high as 130,000 ft. It stiffened and swelled, its arms spread outward like a gorilla's, but it did not burst. Next stage was to take the suit up to altitude...
...called a "fog gun," and provision was made for even this water to be recollected from the air.

He photographs her frontwards, backwards, sideways, closeup, long view, and from above, through what appears to be a hole in the ceiling. And in one memorable variation, he has her running the vacuum toute nue. Based on a bestselling French novel, Warrior's Rest, the movie casts Bardot as a girl who inherits a fortune, goes to Dijon to collect it, instead picks up a suicidal rake named Renaud (Robert Hossein). After saving his life, she feels responsible for him, so she moves...
