This news segment for Houston’s KPRC-TV, broadcast on June 21, 1963, shows arrival of the Cleopatra film canisters at a Houston airport. Cleopatra is a historical epic starring Elizabeth Taylor as the ancient Egyptian pharaoh. The film won four Academy Awards, but its high production costs and low box office returns nearly forced Twentieth Century Fox into bankruptcy.
