DeMille historical ancient Egypt romantic love triangle desert epic ("'The Siren of the Nile'...

Aubrey Smith, Gertrude Michael (as Calpurnia), Arthur Hohl (as Brutus), Edwin Maxwell (as Casca), Ian Maclaren (as Cassius), and David Niven (in his third role, uncredited in a bit part as a slave!). Note that there had been a 1917 silent version of this movie with Theda Bara in the leading role, and it was remade in 1963 with Elizabeth Taylor (and, of course, there have been many other depictions of Cleopatra in movies all through the years). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that by 1952, Claudette Colbert's star had become greatly diminished, and so the poster artist drew a picture of a beautiful Cleopatra, but she does not resemble Claudette Colbert in the slightest! Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny scattered areas of paper loss on some foldlines. There were some minor border defects. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above (any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster).
