Several well known people were present at the Cannes Film Festival in 1963. Italian actress Claudia Cardinale, Luchino Visconti (left) and Burt Lancaster. Most attention however was given to the leopard, heraldic animal in the film "Il Gattopardo".

A photocall for the film "Il Gattopardo" on a beach during the 1963 Cannes Film Festival. Director Luchino Visconti kneels in the sand, holding the leash of a leopard, the film's heraldic animal. The unusual sight brings a laugh from actress Claudia Cardinale, who stands between Visconti and a smiling Burt Lancaster. The glamorous, slightly surreal gathering attracts a crowd of press photographers, with the sea and a city coastline visible in the background.
