History

From 4^th to 12^th Sep­tem­ber 1982.
In wit­ness to their fond­ness for the Fes­ti­val, Gene Kel­ly, Richard Brooks, Har­ri­son Ford, Joseph Mankiewicz, Geral­dine Chap­lin, Nor­man Mail­er and Car­o­line de Mona­co were present on the Boardwalk…along with Cyd Charisse, Robert Alt­man, Carl Fore­man, Charl­ton Hes­ton and Mervyn LeRoy for the trib­utes hon­our­ing them. After the USA and the pre­sen­ta­tion of the film at the cul­mi­na­tion of the Fes­ti­val de Cannes (the very last screen­ing in the for­mer Palais des Fes­ti­vals!), and three months pri­or to its open­ing in France, it was Deauville’s turn to fall under the charm of E.T. Along­side Stephen Spielberg’s film, the Fes­ti­val pre­viewed Tay­lor Hackford’s An Offi­cer and a Gen­tle­man, Rid­ley Scott’s Blade Run­ner and Blake Edward’s Vic­tor, Vic­to­ria.
