Not sure about the gypsum snow part but that’s a cool poster. It must be from a re-release.

It caught my eye when I did an image search- it could be the original poster from the French version or it might be a DVD cover. Given the quality of the image I expect it’s the latter.

I saw this last year. It is worth seeing. Good plot, dialog, and great scenery.

It’s fun. And DeMille was a true Hollywood conservative and patriot.
