Empress Poppaea’s cat drinks out of her milk bath in SIGN OF THE CROSS (1932)

#claudette colbert #the sign of the cross #the silver screen #* #her villa in pompeii is STUNNING #i couldn't fully enjoy it because i was expecting vesuvius to blow at any minute and i was so anxious to get back to safety in rome #my dad was like 'there hasn't been a major eruption since the 1600s we're FINE!' #me (weeping): 'THEY'RE EXPECTING ANOTHER BIG ONE SOON I READ IT IN THE TIMES!'
