One More for Shirley

In the past three years, Shirley Booth has racked up any number of "Best Actress" awards for her performances in a Broadway play, The Time of the Cuckoo, and in two versions (play and film) of Come Back, Little Sheba* (TIME, March 30). Last week it was the same old story: Actress Booth got the award for her Sheba work from the judges at the Sixth International Film Festival in Cannes, France. Her new title: "World's Best Actress." Other awards:

Grand prize (full-length film): Le Salaire de la Peur (The Wages of Fear), a rough & ready French-made film, not yet censored for U.S. consumption, about four roaming Frenchmen and a prostitute.

Best humorous film (full-length): Bienvenue, Monsieur Marshall, a Spanish-made spoof of the Marshall Plan.

Best dramatic film: Hollywood's Come Back, Little Sheba (Hal Wallis; Paramount).

Special mention (for"charm of presentation") : MGM's Lili (TIME, March 9).

*For The Time of the Cuckoo: Antoinette Perry; for Sheba: Hollywood's Oscar, National Board of Review, New York Film Critics, Perry, New York Drama Critics, Newspaper Guild, Donaldson, Barter Theater.
