Searching for Fame and Glory at the Cannes Film FestivalFor as long as I can remember I had always wanted to go to the Cannes Film Festival...I wanted to go to the parties. I wanted to watch the movies. I wanted to see the stars. I wanted to climb the red-carpeted steps, all twenty-two of them, arm in arm with a gorgeous actress...This remained an unlikely ambition since (a) I wasn't a movie star, (b) I wasn't a famous director and (c) I wasn't a hotshot producer. On the other hand, if I couldn't take a film there, I could make a film there. All I had to do was persuade some gullible soul to stump up the necessary cash--preferably lots of it--and I was away. Simple as that. --from King of CannesWalker, Stephen is the author of 'King of Cannes Madness, Mayhem and the Movies' with ISBN 9781565122697 and ISBN 1565122690.
