Beatles & Birkin

George, Ringo, Jane Birkin and so on. I seem to recall something about Harrison getting into some sort of very minor trouble with the law while attending the festival but I can’t find any information about it anywhere right now.

Malle, Vitti, Polanski

Festival jurors Louis Malle, Monica Vitti, Roman Polanski.

Lelouch, Godard, Truffaut, Malle and Polanski

Claude Lelouch, Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, Louis Malle and Roman Polanski. I think at 5’7″, Godard is the tallest of the bunch.

For some reason, in 1963, Films and Filming magazine asked “a representative selection of British, American and Continental producers, directors and actors what, in their opinion, has been the most significant trend of the past eight years and what they hope will be the most significant trend in the years ahead.” Here are how some of them replied:

eight-years

claudia cardinale

pasolini
