In a lively nighttime scene at the 1955 Cannes Film Festival, actress Esther Williams, glamorous in a fur stole and sparkling tiara, gently touches the chin of a French sailor. The sailor, his cap bearing the name "RICHELIEU," closes his eyes in a blissful smile. To the left, Williams's husband, Benjamin Gage, observes the playful moment with an amused grin, surrounded by a crowd of other delighted sailors and onlookers at the entrance to the Palais du Festival.
