    Spectacular cast in what I have always enjoyed more than any other play by Shakespeare. Whoever said Brando couldn't act after seeing him in "Streetcar Named Desire" had to eat their words when he played Mark Antony. WOW!

    Julio Cesar es una estupenda historia y en esta ocasión Mankiewicz logra llevar la obra de teatro de una manera maravillosa al cine

    A solid film. Well executed, good actors, good script (obviously), but yes it is slow. Marlon Brando, who played Julius Caesar's right-hand man, excelled as character Marc Antony. The most notable part scene of this film was very after Julius was murdered by Brutus and the conspi...( read more)rators. Marc Antony's "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" speech was perfectly executed, and it is my favorite Marlon Brando moment (behind Godfather). Rent this film, and even if this film was a flawless gem, I would still suggest the work on paper by Shakespeare first. I also suggest James Mason, who stars as Brutus in the film. He played the role of Brutus extremely well and my hat's off to him. You need patience for a film like Julius Caesar, one of my favorite's of 1953.
