Movie
Cecil B. DeMille's epic movie •Cleopatra• was released in 1934 and
shown at the Bingara Roxy in July 1936.
It will be shown again at the Bingara Roxy on Saturday 5 April 2014.
This 80 year old classic stars Claudette Colbert and features lavish sets and fabulous costumes and scenes that are best appreciated on the big screen.
The Cleopatra barge scene and the death of the Greek-Egyptian Queen are considered to be two of the most memorable sequences in DeMille's career.
'Cleopatra' was a box office success, garnered five Academy Award nominations and won the Oscar for Best Cinematography.
