Cannes, the fun-and-gamiest of film festivals, ended last week with Italy's La Dolce Vita as the unanimous choice for the Golden Palm first prize.

Stillman and wife "Fifi" charged each other with offside parenthood-she by an Indian guide, he by a chorus girl. She got the divorce, promptly married Harvester Heir Fowler McCormick. A New York estate tax appraisal last week: Stillman owned $875,745, owed $1,079,539. Notable debt: $362,848 to the four Stillman children for their support...
