Jean Cocteau, Francine Weisweiller during filming of "Le Testament d’Orphée", film of Jean Cocteau. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1959.

During the 1959 filming of Jean Cocteau’s "Le Testament d’Orphée," a bustling scene unfolds in a garden in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The director oversees the production as actress Francine Weisweiller, in an elaborate light blue and pink period gown, stands on a platform holding a white parasol and a fan. Crew members surround a large vintage camera on a dolly, attending to lighting, taking notes, and adjusting the actress's dress near a small pond with lily pads.
