Cannes (Côte d'Azur, Alpes-Maritimes), France, April 1953: 6th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, from April 15 to 29: photo session with actresses Brigitte Bardot, 18, and Leslie Caron, 21, during a cocktail party at the Château de la Croix-des-Gardes, a mansion owned by Michael Goldman, American multi-billionaire and king of Burma Jewelry: here, the two young women laughing as they jump up and down hand in hand in the gardens of the residence. Leslie is the star of the film in the official selection "Lili", by Charles Walters (which will win the prize for entertainment film), and BB has just finished shooting the film "Un acte d'amour", by Anatole Litvak, at the Saint-Maurice studios on April 14, 1953, the day before the opening of the festival.
