The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the 1962 festival, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a documented jury roster and award record. Its limit is that it is not independently peer reviewed and, checked directly, does not confirm a widely repeated but unlinked claim that Francois Truffaut personally led applause for this film's win, so that detail is deliberately not asserted anywhere in this entry.

Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about a film festival rather than a disputed claim. NotesRead directly. Confirms Tetsuro Furukaki as jury president, Francois Truffaut as a jury member among eleven, and O Pagador de Promessas as the Palme d'Or winner among 35 films in competition that year, including Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Eclisse, Luis Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel and Satyajit Ray's Devi.
