Roger Vadim make a star of Cindy Pickett, with whom he became romantically involved. He directed a caper film in Canada, "The Hot Touch" (1981), starring Marie-France Pisier. Back in France he wrote and directed "Surprise Party" (1983). He directed episodes of "Faerie Tale Theatre" (1984) and "Deadly Nightmares" (1986). Vadim attempted to recapture his former success with a new version of "And God Created Woman" (1988), with Rebecca de Mornay. Very different from the original – it only really used the same title – it failed critically and commercially. His final years were spent working in TV, where he directed "Safari"
Roger Vadim a Pillow" (1962), but found less favour with "Nutty, Naughty Chateau" (1963) starring Monica Vitti. Vadim tried another adaptation of a classic erotic text, "La Ronde" (1964). He said at the time, "When I make a picture about relations between people, something erotic comes through; I can't help it! But sex has been an inspiration, the greatest inspiration, since art exists." One of the film's many stars was rising American actress Jane Fonda who began a romantic relationship with Vadim. Vadim devised a vehicle for Fonda, "The Game Is Over" (1966), based on a book by Émile Zola. Shot in
