During the filming of Jean Cocteau’s "Le Testament d’Orphée" at the Villa Santo Sospir, a surreal scene unfolds. In the garden, Francine Weisweiller, dressed in a Victorian-era gown and holding a parasol, stands beside the figures of "L'homme chien"—Guy Dute in a donkey-head mask and Jean-Claude Petit in polka-dotted briefs with a long tail. From the ivy-covered balcony above, artists Alberto Magnelli, Michele Sapone, Pablo Picasso, and Renato Guttuso observe the proceedings. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959.
