A day at Cannes with Alain Delon

The 63rd Festival de Cannes begins today, May 12. Looking back at this Festival's history, I'll go back to May 1962 when Alain Delon attended this Film Festival alongside Romy Schneider and Sophia Loren. Below you'll be able to see several photographs that were taken all on the same day.

Making their arrival to Cannes, Alain in a dark suit (probably grey) and Romy & Sophia wearing similar white ensembles with eye catching hats.

Outside the Carlton they were greeted by a crowd of fans, visitors, and photographers.

Alain & Romy had lunch with others of their entourage at a Villa in Cannes. Delon changed his dark suit for a white suit and black shirt.

Later that night the 3 of them attended the Festival at the Palais des Festivals et des Congres. Alain Delon was promoting during this festival "L' Eclisse", a film in which he costarred with Italian actress Monica Vitti. This film won 1962's Jury Special Prize.
