Silver gelatin print by Keystone Press Agency, titled "Cleopatra...Cleopatra...Cleopatra...One...Two...Three!!", 23 February 1963. Printed caption on verso reads: "Three lovely young ladies - with but one main aim ....to be the best 'Cleopatra'...The city of Rome - has been the scene of much activity in the film business - with the ancient Queen of Egypt as the centre piece...Firstly - the one and only Elizabeth Taylor (left) concluded the much delayed - and terribly expensive film 'Cleopatra'. (right) the French star Pascale Petit took on the same role for the film 'Queen for Caesae' which is supposed to be something of a satire on the Liz Taylor role - and now - we have the third 'Cleopatra' - in the attractive shape of French actress Magali Noel (in centre) and takes the name part in the newest Rome film 'Toto and Cleopatra' - now being made in the Italian capital. In fact a surfeit of Cleo's".
