Viva Maria! (1965)

Brigitte Bardot in a light comedy; she starts off as a revolutionary, letting off explosives. This is Hollywood's idea of dressing as a boy, you see. I suppose with BB there is a rather strong temptation to let the underlying woman stick out, as it were.

She goes on to "invent" striptease, and eventually leads a successful rebellion against a Mexican tyrant.
