Esther Williams, Begum and Benjamin Gage, Esthers husband. Cannes Film Festival 1955.

At a gathering during the 1955 Cannes Film Festival, actress Esther Williams and her husband, Benjamin Gage, are joined at their table by the Begum Om Habibeh Aga Khan. Gage, a cigarette in hand, leans over to point at a large magazine as Williams, in a low-cut evening gown, looks on. The Begum is seated with her back to the camera, wearing a patterned strapless dress and a dark fur stole. A reflection behind them reveals the crowded room and press photographers documenting the glamorous event.
