Trivia

This movie has absolutely nothing to do with Cleopatra's daughter. The English version of this movie was translated completely differently from the original Italian script, setting it in the 1st Century BC, rather than the Bronze age when the Pharaoh Khufu reigned between the years of 2589 - 2566 BC. Cleopatra's actual daughter, Selene, lived between the years 40 - 6 BC. After the death of her mother Cleopatra and Mark Antony in 30 BC, she was taken to Rome as a child by Octavian Augustus who adopted her. Augustus later in her life arranged her marriage to King Juba II of Numidia. They were given the kingdom of Mauretania, (modern Algeria and Morocco) to rule as vassal king and queen. They named their capital Caesaria in honor of the Emperor. Actually as well, the real Pharoah Khufu is generally considered to have commissioned the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which still stands in Egypt to this day.

Originally announced in Kinematograph Weekly on 23 March 1961, to be released in the UK as Tomb of the Pharaohs by World Productions Releasing Company. Eventually submitted to the British Board of Film Censors as Cleopatra's Daughter by small UK distributor Mondial and passed with an "A" certificate on 15 March 1963. Previewed at the Hammer preview cinema, Wardour Street, on 21 March 1963 (10:30 am for press and trade only). Although her more famous mother was enjoying a long run in the West End, Cleopatra's Daughter struggled to get bookings. Opened in London at the Lido in West Ealing on Sunday, 7 July 1963 for one week, then at the Praed Street Classic on Edgware Road on Sunday, 18 August 1963 also for one week. Screenings in the provinces were few and far between.
