neutral · AI labelView post →Helen Gardner in CLEOPATRA (1912). She produced the film and designed her own costumes. It was among the first wave of American feature-length films (along with OLIVER TWIST and FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS, produced by other companies)
neutral · AI labelView post →I never realised that the cover to Goscinny & Uderzo’s “Asterix and Cleopatra” was a parody of Howard Terpning’s movie poster for 1963’s “Cleopatra”, or that the list of resources run through during the graphic novel’s making on the cover was poking fun at Cleopatra’s famously bloated production.

neutral · AI labelView post →Bath scene from the 1934 film 'Cleopatra', by Cecil B. DeMille. Not quite historically accurate I reckon ;) www.imdb.com/title/tt0024...

neutral · AI labelView post →Helen Gardner's CLEOPATRA (1912) was among the first wave of American narrative feature films, following OLIVER TWIST and FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS. Gardner produced the film and designed her costumes. It is sometimes passed off as the lost Theda Bara epic by unscrupulous online sellers.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remembering the wonderful Richard Burton who passed away on August 5th, 1984, aged only 58. Burton met and fell in love with Liz Taylor on the set of the movie "Cleopatra" in 1963, thus setting in motion an on/off tempestuous relationship that lasted for the rest of his life. #RichardBurton

neutral · AI labelView post →So, in my desire to improve my French I'm watching Asterix and Obelix. Interesting thing: For a kids' movie it's much more open about sexuality than you'd ever see from a US film. Cleopatra is always wearing skimpy clothes and several of the men are clearly quite interested in her. (1/n)
neutral · AI labelView post →Extras relax off-camera on the set of Cleopatra, which, at the time of its filming in 1963, was the most expensive #movie ever made. 🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →CLEOPATRA is a good movie for the flu. It's endless and moves like a barge and I've taken several naps while watching it, always making sure to rewind to the part where I fell asleep so I don't miss any outfits, makeup, hair, or moments where Elizabeth Taylor is commanding obedience.
neutral · AI labelView post →The most beautiful woman in the world died 23 Mar 2011, aged 79. During the production of the film Cleopatra (1961), Elizabeth Taylor and co-star Richard Burton began an affair. Despite disapproval, they continued their relationship & married in 1964. They starred in 11 films together. #LizTaylor
neutral · AI labelView post →#letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched 1)The original version of Homeward Bound (1993); 2) The movie that originated the name "Hazel Flagg"; 3) Liz and Richard's second movie pairing after Cleopatra; and 4) An underrated vampire movie of the 60s that is not all about Dracula.
neutral · AI labelView post →7 - Big budget movie about Zenobia, *at least* as big as the most recent Cleopatra film (I've made this ultimatum before - this should precede any other Cleopatra movie)
neutral · AI labelView post →I wanna make an Antony & Cleopatra film adaptation (after Zenobia of course). Cast totally blonde Sydney Sweeney as Cleopatra. Trailers feature her extensively, but never show Antony. Big controversy. Groypers pledge to support their Aryan queen. Opening night, Antony appears: Michael B Jordan
neutral · AI labelView post →Marilyn Monroe portraying the silent film star Theda Bara as Cleopatra, by renowned photographer Richard Avedon in 1958.
neutral · AI labelView post →Around 40 seconds of new footage from Cleopatra (1917) staring early sex symbol Theda Bara was found. Almost all of her films are lost, including Cleopatra. This film looks amazing for 1917 and it's a crime I can't see the full two hours of it #filmsky 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwPZ...
neutral · AI labelView post →Say whatever you want about #Cleopatra, no one will ever make this elaborate of a film with real sets, locations, and people again ^PG #TCMParty
positive · AI labelView post →When will Capcom finally capitulate to my demands that they include Goliath and Cleopatra, Chris Redfield's eagle friends from George Romero's Resident Evil movie script, into a future game?
neutral · AI labelView post →My Prized Possession: At charity auction for APLA (AIDS Project Los Angeles), won this autographed Elizabeth Taylor CLEOPATRA doll. Now, accepting fair 💰 offers! 🤣 CLEOPATRA, the most expensive movie ever made at the time, premiered OTD 6/12/1963. Who wore it better? The doll or Liz? #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie selection is “Caesar and Cleopatra” (1945). Vivien Leigh and Claude Rains in TECHNICOLOR. Lavish splendour indeed
neutral · AI labelView post →Amazing scenes: watch Theda Bara in rediscovered footage from lost film CLEOPATRA (1917) silentlondon.co.uk/2023/09/14/w...

neutral · AI labelView post →I need some silly real quick so here's a question: what's a history movie take/hill that you'll die on. Mine? An historical movie featuring Cleopatra needs to have the guts to finally make her funny looking. We know she wasn't a radiant beauty but a radiant wit/mind. Let her be funny looking!
neutral · AI labelView post →Cleopatra was a European tyrant encroaching upon a Middle Eastern land so who’s to say whether or not this was appropriate casting
neutral · AI labelView post →Fritz Leiber and Theda Bara in the lost film Cleopatra (1917)
neutral · AI labelView post →...are their version of that. The "OMG a madman director/producer/star is burning money on NONSENSE and a whole studio is going to COLLAPSE!!!" coverage for 'Cleopatra,' 'Heavens Gate' and 'Waterworld' were all HUGE stories and paid a lot of bills for film journos in their day... 2/3
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie is the 1934 version of Cleopatra. I’ve never seen any Cleopatra movie, which is ironic given my interest in ancient Egypt. I know the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor movie overshadows this one, which is by Cecil B. DeMille (of Ten Commandments fame), so I’m intrigued by how it’ll go.
neutral · AI labelView post →New footage from CLEOPATRA (1917) starring the legendary Theda Bara!!! It appears to be a minute-long fragment from this mostly lost film.

unlabelledView post →We can only dream of CLEOPATRA based on the surviving bits. Theda spent the film dressed in costumes held up by adhesive and prayers, they got past the censors by claiming historical authenticity. Pastie technology in Ancient Egypt was more advanced that I had imagined.

unlabelledView post →The fixation with firsties in early film is highly selective. OLIVER TWIST survives but has never been released on home media. FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS was preserved by an enthusiastic vicar with no connection to the film industry. CLEOPATRA is marketed as being the lost Theda Bara version.

unlabelledView post →Theda Bara's Cleopatra (1917). Wildly expensive, popular, and scandalous in its day, every complete copy has perished in a fire and the film is now considered lost.

unlabelledView post →#Edwards1000SixtiesMovies 347/1000: THE V. I. P. S Released some months after Cleopatra, this airport-set drama movie capitalized on the huge publicity surrounding Elizabeth and Richard as a couple. The supporting performances also form part of this film's positive feedback, at least for me.
