Orson Welles, a cigar in his mouth, looks back over his shoulder with a direct and intense expression in front of the Monte Carlo Casino in 1952. He was on the Riviera to present his film "Othello" at the Cannes Film Festival. Though the film was initially vilified by most critics, it received the Palme d’Or and is now considered a classic. In the softly focused background, tall palm trees rise against a bright, overcast sky.
