Faye Dunaway has every reason to look on top of the
world. Not only is it her face gracing this year’s Cannes Film Festival
poster -- taken from 1970’s Puzzle of a Downfall Child -- but the film has recently been completely
restored by Universal Pictures. To mark the occasion, her director from the
film and ex- fiancé, Jerry Schatzberg, were reunited on the red carpet at
Cannes on May 11th for a press photocall.
The restored print is being screened at Cannes and will
be distributed for the first time in France this fall.
It must have been something of a homecoming for the
onetime couple. Forty-plus years ago, they were photographed arm-in-arm,
dashing from photographers around Paris.
The 64th Festival de Cannes runs through May
22nd.
