Cleopatra and the undoing of Hollywood : how one film almost sunk the studios / Patrick Humphries. by Humphries, Patrick, author. Cheltenham, Gloucestershire : The History Press, 2023. Subjects Cleopatra (Motion picture : 1963)   Motion picture industry -- California -- Los Angeles -- History -- 20th century.   Motion picture industry -- Economic aspects -- California -- Los Angeles -- History. ISBN:  9781803990187 (hardcover) 180399018X (hardcover) Description:  240 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm Requests:  1 Summary:  "What began in 1958 as a remake of the 1917 Theda Bara film, which starred Joan Collins and was projected to cost $2 million, would open five years later, having cost nearly twenty times as much. The budget had skyrocketed enormously as the production went through extravagant sets in two different countries, two directors and six leading men--and this was on top of Elizabeth Taylor's $1 million fee. But it was the off-screen romance between the two on-screen leads that really cemented Cleopatra's place in cinema history. Within weeks of Richard Burton's arrival in Italy, he and Taylor embarked on a tumultuous and passionate love affiar that kept the Cuban Missle Crisis off the front pages and was denounced by the Vatican. Cleopatra and the undoing of Hollywood is a story of lust, excess and hubris--and how one film nearly brought Hollywood to its knees."--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 791.4372 Hu in Processing Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList
