This French lobby card for the 20th Century Fox epic, Demetrius and the Gladiators, showcases every cinematic element that would lure audiences to the theater - from bacchanalia to lust to danger and violence. In this sequel to The Robe (1953), the colorful scenes and the horizontal layout of the poster visually emphasize the film’s Technicolor and Cinemscope aesthetic.
