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".

On the beach during the 1963 Cannes Film Festival, director Luchino Visconti kneels beside a leopard, the living heraldic symbol of his film "Il Gattopardo." He is joined by the film's stars, a standing Burt Lancaster and an amused Claudia Cardinale. As Visconti holds the chain leash, the group poses for a throng of press photographers during a publicity event where the big cat attracted the most attention.
