1939 Palme d'Or

The inaugural Cannes Film Festival was to have been held in 1939, but was cancelled by the outbreak of the Second World War. The organizers of the 2002 festival assembled a jury of six members, including Dieter Kosslick and Alberto Barbera, to watch seven of the twelve features which had been entered in the 1939 competition, namely: Goodbye, Mr. Chips, La piste du nord, Lenin in 1918, The Four Feathers, The Wizard of Oz, Union Pacific, and Boefje. Union Pacific was retrospectively voted the winner of the 1939 Palme d'Or.{{cite web |last1=Vaucher |first1=Andrea R. |last2=Elley |first2=Derek |date=24 April 2002 |title=Croisette crowd craves its faves |url=https://variety.com/2002/film/markets-festivals/croisette-crowd-craves-its-faves-1117865929/ |access-date=18 November 2019 |website=Variety |language=en}}; {{Cite web |last=McCarthy |first=Todd |date=May 26, 2002 |title='Pianist' tickles Cannes |url=https://variety.com/2002/film/markets-festivals/pianist-tickles-cannes-1117867622/ |access-date=May 24, 2018 |work=Variety}}
