Du côté de la côte (1958)

Two people, one big one small, in identical canary yellow robes and straw sun hats on the beach (more here). DPs: Quinto Albicocco & Raymond Castel.

Yellow: in food or fashion*

“Tourists prefer the trendy colors, yellow and blue. Pacing fancies, hotels are painted yellow and blue. Blue wins. All women want to be fashionable. All women wear blue, except the English, those learning to swim, and the Germans, who are dedicated to green.”
