COCTEAU (Jean).
Shadow presidency. Without place or date [April 1956]. Autograph manuscript signed "Jean Cocteau", 5 pages in-4. Autograph manuscript signed of an article published in Les Lettres françaises in April 1956: the disclaimer, also written by Cocteau, explains its purpose: Jean Cocteau having been named by the council of the Cannes Film Festival as Honorary President of the festival, a title that had not been awarded since the death of Louis Lumière, was unable to attend the screening of the film Picasso - Clouzot - Auric due to academic votes. We asked him to write a few lines about this exceptional work. Very beautiful text: the manuscript presents many corrections.
