At the 1963 Cannes Film Festival, actress Claudia Cardinale and actor Burt Lancaster crouch on the sand with a cheetah, the main attraction during a promotion for their film "Il Gattopardo" ("The Leopard"). Director Luchino Visconti stands behind, resting his hands on their shoulders. Dressed in a light suit, Cardinale smiles at the collared animal, which lies calmly before them as a crowd looks on. The cheetah served as the living heraldic symbol for the film.
