After the awards ceremony on closing night, the huge movie screen filled with the letters E.T., and 2,500 merchants and moviemakers became dreamers again. Steven Spielberg had brought his sci-fi romance to Cannes for its world premiere, and throughout the day he had loped down the Carlton corridors dodging the dozens of would-be interviewers, photographers and starlets, all cadging for a moment with the world's most successful director.
