FINALLY...<br />
The Birds’ director<br />
Alfred Hitchcock and<br />
star Tippi Hedren<br />
arrive in France<br />
to attend the 1963<br />
Cannes Film Festival<br />
50 | <strong>Cineplex</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> | MAY <strong>2013</strong><br />
Cannes,<br />
now<br />
and<br />
Then<br />
The 66th Cannes Film Festival kicks off with Baz Luhrmann’s<br />
The Great Gatsby on <strong>May</strong> 15th and then bombards the small,<br />
charming city on the French Riviera with great films until<br />
<strong>May</strong> 26th. Go to www.festival-cannes.fr for the full slate.<br />
But it will be hard to beat the lineup from 50 years ago,<br />
when the 16th Cannes Film Festival featured five stellar<br />
English-language films — Lord of the Flies, This Sporting Life,<br />
The Birds, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and<br />
To Kill a Mockingbird — mixed in with a strong slate of French,<br />
Hungarian, Italian and German films. So which film won the<br />
coveted Palme d’Or that year? It wasn’t any of the above;<br />
instead it was the Italian drama Il Gattopardo (The Leopard)<br />
from director Luchino Visconti. —MW<br />
