PEPLUM Movie Poster


French poster of THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII (1959) 

This is an odd poster. The title is different but it was also released as LES DERNIERS JOURS DE POMPEI. Both Mario Bonnard and Sergio Leone are on the poster while the actors, including Steve Reeves, are barely noticeable. I've seen some with Sergio Leone crossed out. For Bonnard, they state 'Mise en scene' and for Leone is 'Realisation,' which, technically, is the same thing. I wonder if this a re-release. Disasters in PEPLUM movies is the subject of the main article in the latest BY THE GODS! magazine issue 4.
