An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Locandina Movie Poster (measures approximately 13" x 27") (Learn More) Le Shiavedi Cartagine (released in the U.S. in 1960 as "The Sword and the Cross"), the 1956 Guido Brignone Italian/Mexican/Spanish Roman religious melodrama ("an unforgettable spectacle of marvels and miracles"; "SEE masses of the faithful crucified on the flaming hills"; "SEE the decadent splendor of the Roman orgies"; "SEE the wild chariot race of the Roman destroyers"; "See the noble captive beauties sold on the slave block") starring Gianna Maria Canale, Jorge Mistral, Marisa Allasio, Ana Luisa Peluffo, and Ruben Rojo. Note that, at the same time this movie was being made in Italy, another movie, "La Spada e la Croce", was also being made. This movie, "Le Schiave di Cartagine", was released in the U.S. in 1960 as "The Sword and the Cross", and later in 1960 "La Spada e la Croce" was released as "Mary Magdalene", and it appears that sometimes the two movies have been confused (both about early Christians in Rome, both made in Italy in the late 1950s, and both released in the U.S. in 1960).
