Synopsis:
A Parisian student, Gérard Morere, sets off to recover a lost treasure contained in a sunken Phoenician ship near an island off the coast of Corsica. With funds supplied by his fellow students, Gérard convinces a smuggler named Eric (played by Jess Franco favourite Howard Vernon) to be his transportation. Whilst diving for the treasure off the picturesque Lavezzi islands, Gérard gets to know Manina (Brigitte Bardot), the attractive daughter of the local lighthouse keeper…

Notable for being one of Bardot’s first on-screen performances, five years before her appearance in And God Created Woman launched her to super-stardom, Manina, The Lighthouse-Keeper’s Daughter is presented here for the first time ever on Blu-ray.

Special Features:
• 56 Rue Pigalle (88 mins) - Director Willy Rozier’s little-seen noir-melodrama

• Footage of the infamous Rozier-Chalais duel, between director Willy Rozier and film critic François Chalais

• Stills gallery containing rare photos of Bardot taken during the film’s production
