The 4th Cannes Film Festival was held from 3 to 20 April 1951. The previous year, no festival had been held because of financial reasons. In 1951, the festival took place in April instead of September to avoid direct competition with the Venice Film Festival .[4]
As in the previous two festivals, the entire jury was made up of French persons. The Grand Prix of the Festival went to two different films, Miss Julie Alf Sjöberg and Miracle in Milan Vittorio De Sica .[5]
The festival honoured Michèle Morgan , Jean Marais and Jean Cocteau with the Victoire du cinéma français award.[6] [7]
