The 65th Cannes Film Festival is in full swing with its highs and lows, flashing bulbs, divas and drama. Since the film festival was born in 1946, this picturesque coastal town on the French Riviera has been transformed for a week a year. Old Hollywood’s most famous residents have decamped to Cannes for their yearly infusion of sunny Riviera glamour and mingled with fabulous European bombshells, world-class directors and the odd screen Adonis.
So, true to form, we're revisiting vintage photographs
