A surreal scene from the filming of Jean Cocteau's "Le Testament d’Orphée" at Francine Weisweiller's Villa Santo Sospir. The director, Jean Cocteau, stands with Weisweiller as actors Guy Dute and Jean-Claude Petit, portraying "L'homme chien," perform in the courtyard; one, wearing a horned mask, climbs through a doorway. Observing from the ivy-covered balcony are friends and fellow artists, including a smiling Pablo Picasso, Alberto and Susi Magnelli, Michele Sapone, and Renato Guttuso. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, 1959.
