The Girl on a Motorcycle (French: La Motocyclette) is a 1968 erotic romantic drama film directed by Jack Cardiff, starring Alain Delon and Marianne Faithfull.[2] It is based on the 1963 novel La Motocyclette by André Pieyre de Mandiargues.[3] Released as Naked Under Leather, it was the first film to receive an X rating in the United States,[4] and edited by Warner Brothers for an "R" rating. It was listed to compete at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, but the festival was cancelled due to the May 1968 events in France.[5]
The Girl on a Motorcycle redefined the leather jacket for motorcyclists into a catsuit, created by John Sutcliffe,[6] that Faithfull wore in the film.[7]
