    Terrible movie. A romantic Hollywood story that hasn't anything to do with how Rome and Egypt were at the time..

    Cleopatra...the whitest African I've ever seen. Translucent, even.


    I don't think Shaw's (or Shakespeare's, for that matter) treatment of Cleopatra's legend (or the foibles of monarchs, or stories of imperial Rome) had much to do with a desire for "authenticity" about anything but human nature. Nor was Shaw (or Shakespeare) much influenced by "Hollywood."

    A droll story set in Ancient Egypt. By no means they did try to depict realism. 9 years 2 months ago
