At her Villa Santo Sospir, Francine Weisweiller observes a surreal moment during the 1959 filming of Jean Cocteau's "Le Testament d’Orphée." Below her, the "L'homme chien" characters, played by Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit, appear in bizarre costumes. From the ivy-covered balcony above, artists Alberto Magnelli, Michele Sapone, Pablo Picasso, and Renato Guttuso look on with amusement at the theatrical scene unfolding in the garden at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
