One of Hollywood’s most famous films, Cleopatra stitches together epic (and extremely expensive) scenes from ancient history, fuelled by the sizzling chemistry between the two leads that leaked off the screen.
“Cleopatra is not only a super-colossal eye-filler (the unprecedented budget shows in the physical opulence throughout), but it is also a remarkably literate cinematic re-creation of an historic epoch.” – Variety
