When Julius Caesar, the leader of the Roman Empire, succumbs to the charms of the sultry Cleopatra, he creates a scandal big enough to shake the marble pillars of Rome. The ruler pays dearly for his romance, for the outraged Roman Senate repudiates him and the fickle Cleopatra decides to protect her interests by bestowing her affections on her former lover's rival, Marc Antony. (official distributor synopsis)

A classic story in an even slightly older version than its most famous version with Elizabeth Taylor. It's black and white, sometimes very grandiose, other times quite intimate. Here, the creators of the younger version took inspiration and made it even more spectacular. It’s good, but it's really just a historical romantic drama and not much else.
