Description
Base painting for the vintage movie poster ''The Notorious Cleopatra'', a 1970 film directed by Peter Perry Jr., notable for its exploitation-style depiction of the historical figure Cleopatra, portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor look-alike and adult film actress, Marsha Jordan. The film, also known as "The Mad Queen of Manchao," is characterized by its low-budget production, erotic content, and sensationalized portrayal of ancient history.
The story loosely follows the life of Cleopatra, focusing on her relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, as well as her political intrigues and conquests. However, the film takes significant liberties with historical accuracy, prioritizing titillation and spectacle over factual authenticity.
"The Notorious Cleopatra" is best known for its erotic scenes and gratuitous nudity, which were typical of the exploitation genre popular during the time. Directed by Peter Perry Jr. with a focus on sensationalism and shock value, the film revels in its depictions of sex and violence, catering to audiences seeking cheap thrills and taboo subject matter.
Marsha Jordan delivers a bold and uninhibited performance as Cleopatra, embodying the character's seductive charm and ruthless ambition with gusto. While the film's production values may be lacking, Jordan's presence commands attention, elevating the material with her magnetic presence.
Critically, "The Notorious Cleopatra" received mixed reviews upon its release, with many critics dismissing it as exploitative and historically inaccurate. However, the film found an audience among fans of exploitation cinema and has since gained a cult following for its campy charm and over-the-top sensuality.
Overall, "The Notorious Cleopatra" remains a relic of its time, representing the excesses and indulgences of exploitation cinema in the 1970s. While it may not be remembered as a cinematic masterpiece, it holds a unique place in the annals of film history as a product of its era, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the world of low-budget erotica and sensationalized storytelling.
