Internationale filmpriser
The first Cannes Film Festival began in that French Riviera resort
town. It had originally been planned for 1939 but Hitler's invasion of
Poland that year, and later France, delayed plans until after the war.
The Grand Prix and the International Peace Prize were awarded to "The
Last Chance" by Leopold Lindtberg of Switzerland, a movie (shot on
location) about how three Allied soldiers, including two escaped
prisoners of war, lead a group of Jewish refugees from Nazi-occupied
northern Italy across the Alps to safety in nominally neutral Switzerland.
