"Lola Montes" will open Cannes Classics
A restored version of Marcel Ophuls final film, and only color picture, will open Cannes Classics. Starring Martine Carol, "Lola Montes" was inspired by the life of the Countess of Landsfeld, a scandalous dancer and actress of the mid-1800s who became the mistress of Bavaria's King Ludwig.
The lineup for Cannes Classics will be announced in the next few days.
