Jupiter's Darling, Snake Standard and flag
original movie prop
As seen on screen in the 1955 movie Jupiter's Darling, the movie
said to have ended Esther Williams MGM film carreer. Props from
this movie were reused from MGM's 1950 Julius Caesar. This hand
carved wooden snake standard likely also dates back to the silent
1925 Ben Hur, as the design has a spoked chariot wheel center, and
the banner flown below contained a horse figure. Chariot wheel flags
were shown in MGM's 1959 Ben Hur sound remake. Snake, wheel, and
top device form exactly matches this listing provided on screen photo.
Would be nice to know if the other Roman prop standards also survive?
