This was program art for DeMille's 1932 pre-code epic film Sign of the Cross. I must admit that the event program sounds intriguing. The mind reels with images of combat between dwarfs and Amazons. Sorry for those Christians, but at least it was diverting. And wouldn't boxing with spiked gloves make a helluva Pay per View these days?

MORE pesky stuff floating around my image morgue.
I remember as a teen being mesmerized by actress Ewa Aulin and looking forward to seeing her in the movie Candy. My vague recollection is that I was bored with the movie but, for some reason, these images have stayed in the morgue all these years.
Mid-Season's Dream
This may not be the traditional time to celebrate midsummer, but by the calendar it's going to be actual mid-season before we know it.
What a lovely poster and graphics for a lovely film.
