CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA

Fabulous original 10 inch x 7 7/8 inch Black and White Still of producer/director GABRIEL PASCAL and cameraman JACK HILDYARD on the crane above the model of the Sphinx for their 1945 Drama CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA, written by George Bernard Shaw

Vivien Leigh and Claude Rains pop off the screen in vivid Technicolor in Gabriel Pascal’s version of Shaw’s 1901 play about love and politics in ancient Rome and Egypt. At the time the most expensive British film ever produced (complete with real imported Egyptian sand), Caesar and Cleopatra is a lavish epic, featuring standout performances by its two stars.

The still is in very good condition with a synopsis and credit list tacked to the reverse.
