Paul Newman's Effect on Cannes

This year's Cannes Film Festival will be coming to an end this upcoming Sunday, May 23. To continue looking back at the Festival's history, below is a photograph of Paul Newman attending it in 1973. This was a special ocassion for him since "The Effect of Gamma Rays On Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds", a film directed by Newman was competing at the Festival. His wife, Joanne Woodward who acted on it, won 1973's Award for Best Actress.

Paul Newman decided to wear a white turtleneck (a very Mod item, yet something I would only wear in Summer if it was very cool) and what appears to be a blue blazer. Worth noticing are his Onyx ring and black sunglasses. Simple and bold.
