Directed by Cecil B. DeMille (1934), starring Claudette Colbert and Warren
William.
epic about the Queen of the Nile and her love affairs with
Julius Caesar and Marc Antony is not unfairly considered one of the most
amazing films of all time. Lavish costumes, sets, and overall production
values are pure DeMille, but Colbert’s brilliant portrayal must have given
Liz Taylor pause when she attempted the character again in 1963. Newly remastered by UCLA Film School.

Religion & the Professions. All films shown at 7:00 pm, 106 Pickard Hall. Free and open to the public.
