Monroe Mitchum Cannes
Last year the Cannes Film Festival chose a 41-year-old mage of Faye Dunaway (taken from Jerry Schatzberg's Puzzle of a Downfall Child) for their official poster. This year they've chosen a mid-1950s shot of Marilyn Monroe blowing out a candle...whatever that implies. Me? I've always wanted to them to use this famous surfside shot of Robert Mitchum. There's something sublime about his body language, and the shot was actually taken in Cannes, etc.

Mitchum looks kind of like Walken cutting the rug in that Weapon of Choice video.

there's also the shot of Mitchum taken in 1954 when Simone Sylva dropped her bikini top while he was having his pic snapped and the result received worldwide coverage

You should use the image for your coverage of Cannes.
