CollectionYour Story is the Peninsula's Story CollectionDateca 1963ContributorHumphrey, RickDescriptionWhen I was in the third grade our teacher took our class down to the end of the playground and pointed out a movie set on the cliffs. She told us the movie, Cleopatra, was all filmed on location in Italy but when they got back to the U.S. they needed to film one more scene so they came out to the peninsula to do it.
For three days we watched the actors dressed in their roman costumes get transported by flat bed trucks along the dirt paths to their location. In this scene you can see the pine trees of Resort Point in the distance where they lit a large bonfire.NotesLunada Bay Elementary School located at 520 Paseo Del Mar.
