Cleopatra Taylor, Burton, Harrison, Mankiewicz Signed Poster
From the Oscar winning controversial blockbuster “Cleopatra” (1963), this is one of the original theatrical posters. It is signed by stars Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison and Hume Cronyn as well as a rare autograph by the director (and co-writer) , the legendary Joseph L. Mankiewicz. This epic motion picture almost single-handedly bankrupted 20th Century Fox Studios, and also became one of the most advanced publicity tabloid heated movies ever made, what with the romance of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, with Taylor leaving her husband Eddie Fisher (who had left his wife, Debbie Reynolds for Taylor only a few years before!) for Burton. This of course began one of the most tumultuous on-again-off-again love affairs and creative teamings ever seen in Hollywood! The poster is in good condition with some slight tears in the corners and edges, plus standard fold marks. Poster is approx. 40"x27".
