Fall in Cannes
no matter if it's in the
Spring or Fall, there's mild breezes blow as the
warm Mediterranean sun smiles over this beautiful
spot on the Cote d'Azur. There you can feel a
timeless sensuality, assuaging a nostalgia for the
Mediterranean which since as far back as the 16th
century has been a constant theme in many a
Northern European's
life.
"Now give us lands where the
olives grow," Cried the North to the South, "Where
the sun with a golden mouth can blow blue bubbles
of grapes down the vineyard row!" Cried the North
to the South. (to borrow a phrase from the English
writer Elizabeth Barret
Browning).
"Cannes," wrote Charles
Lentheric, the indispensable and erudite historian
of maritime Provence, in 1880, "is a town where you
feel no need to work," and "where the inhabitants
were not interested in the world that lay beyond
their shady gardens, or the sheltered balconies of
their hotels."
Now the world has come to
Cannes, chosen it to be their Mediterranean queen
for its annual events, and when you stroll along
the Croisette on some warm April day you will
hardly share Mr. Lenteric's sentiments. Voila!
Cannes! It has emerged so
cosmopolitan.

A Cannes
Film Festival without prizes? It's a possibility
raised Wednesday. Albeit jokingly _ by Stephen
Frears, president of the award-giving jury.
"Maybe we'll give no prizes," said the British
director of "The Queen," "High Fidelity" and "Dirty
Pretty Things." "We will refuse to sit in
judgment."
