    This movie had potential, but fell through the cracks. To bad.

    Yeah, no. It's just too bizarre to see a naive, cutesy Cleopatra when one is used to the great queen and demi goddess of the Nile presented by Liz Taylor (and by every history lesson I ever had) The plot is too contrived, the movie itself is boring... and dear GOD, what was UP wi...( read more)th leaving out the actual romance between them, and with Cleopatra whining the whole film about wanting to find Mark Antony? Just... nooo.

    George Bernard Shaw said that this was the best movie ever made, and he should know. He wrote it. Viven Leigh, Claude Rains, and Flora Robson lead a cast who actually understood what they were saying. And the sets, the matte paintings, the props, are all first-rate: yet they ...( read more)never overpower this cast performing this script. It really is the best movie ever made, pretty much.
