Cleopatra (1963)
Cleopatra (1963) remains one of the most legendary spectacles in Hollywood history, infamous for a ballooning budget that nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox. Beyond the financial drama, the film captivated the global public through the real-life, scandalous romance between stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, which began during production. While its production was tumultuous, the film’s opulent art direction and Taylor's iconic "Egyptian" aesthetic left a permanent mark on 1960s fashion and beauty trends.
This British quad poster for the Dominion Theatre’s "Gala European Premiere" features a rich, painterly illustration by artist Howard Terpning. The composition centers on a reclining, golden-clad Elizabeth Taylor flanked by Richard Burton and Rex Harrison, visually establishing the epic's central power trio. The upper portion serves as a functional advertisement for the London premiere at Tottenham Court Road.
