Caesar and Cleopatra
UK (1945): Drama
Based on G.B. Shaw's play, Cleopatra (Vivien Leigh) hasn't been on the throne of the pharoahs of Egypt very long when Julius Caesar (Claude Rains) pays a visit. Caesar finds the prospect of romance more tempting than he expected, since Cleopatra is a rare woman who is bright as well as beautiful. And for Cleopatra, a friendly relationship with the most powerful man in the world may pay dividends in the future. Gabriel Pascal directs. Cast also includes Steward Granger, Flora Robson and Francis L. Sullivan. (Rank, Two Cities/UA) (IMDb)
