Ah, don’t you wish you were at Cannes right now? (well, we do…)
Here, as the 65th edition of the French Riviera’s film extravaganza gets underway, LIFE.com presents a gallery of both rare and classic pictures from Cannes in 1962 — photos made 50 years ago that still, today, convey the glamor and the blithe sensuality that set the festival apart.
Pictured: French starlet Philomene Toulouse angling for attention with her pet fox and bare torso at the Cannes Film Festival.
