In what Mediterranean seaside village do the biggest international stars, movie moguls, topless wannabe starlets and struggling filmmakers get together for an 11-day extravaganza of screenings, soirees, sales pitches, prestigious prizes and media feeding frenzy?
The Cannes Film Festival is one-of-a-kind, the gold standard for the movie industry and the annual rendezvous on the French Riviera for everybody who's anybody as well as every nobody who wants to become somebody.
This eye-opening documentary reveals the behind-the-scenes partying and plotting at one of the most memorable festivals in Cannes' storied history when titans Bob Fosse (All That Jazz), Akira Kurosawa (Kagemusha) and Peter Sellers (Being There) competed before a jury presided over by movie-legend Kirk Douglas for the prestigious Plame d'Or.

Rex Reed is SO dreamy!!!!! (In addition to having the magnetic draw of the celebrity journalist supreme!) I also have a special place in my heart for Akira Kurosawa. I wish Rex could have introduced him to me before Akira left this earth!
This film is a blast from the past that relates to the present. Young people today are heavily into the 70s and 80s, so clearly it's something for everyone of any age. It's a peek into the "era with the aura" unparalleled!... xoxo

Awesome stuff! It's great that this gem is finally seeing the light of day. It was a total pleasure working with producer Billy "Silver Dollar" Baxter on the trailer. Film buffs like me will absolutely eat this stuff up. Check it out, peoples!
