Cannes Film Festival
1956
1954
The 8th Cannes Film Festival was held from 26 April to 10 May 1955.[4] The Golden Palm went to the US film Marty by Delbert Mann.[5] The festival opened with Du rififi chez les hommes by Jules Dassin[6] and closed with Carmen Jones by Otto Preminger.
Until the 1954 Festival, the whimsical way various prizes were being awarded had drawn much criticism. In answer to this, from 1955 onwards, the Jury was composed of foreign celebrities from the film industry.[7] In 1955, the first Palme d'Or was awarded, as the highest prize of the Festival.
