The 4th Cannes Film Festival took place from 3 to 20 April 1951 after a one hiatus due to financial reasons. French author André Maurois served as jury president for the main competition.
The Grand Prize of the Festival, then the festival highest prize, was jointly awarded to Miracle in Milan by Vittorio De Sica and Miss Julie by Alf Sjöberg.
Michèle Morgan, Jean Marais and Jean Cocteau were honoured with the Victoire du cinéma français award.
The festival took place for the first time in April instead of September, to avoid direct competition with the Venice Film Festival.
