This is from the 1977 revival. I love Japanese posters.

Very good poster indeed. It says the film is in Cinerama (シネラマ). According to Wikipedia: "shooting started in CinemaScope, changed to 3-panel Cinerama and finally to Todd-AO. The anamorphic and 3-panel footage was discarded."
As with all of Fox's roadshow films, beginning with Oklahoma, Cleopatra was always going to be shot in Todd-AO. Early ads in Variety say it was going to be CinemaScope but this was when the film was going to be shot in Hollywood on a much smaller scale and probably star Joan Collins.

A close up of the same Japanese poster for the film, but this time they have replaced 'Cinerama' with '70mm'.
