Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Caesar & Cleopatra
The film is okay, being Vivien Leigh is in it, not much else to say about it. I liked it fine.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - To be in Bernard Shaw 's mood!
Claude Rains as Caesar and Viviane Leigh as Cleopatra star this dazzling story that rides between the drama and comedy. A splendid occasion to crown once more the corrosive humor that literally permeates a good part of the dialogues. There is humor but also a formidable description and bold personal statement of this privileged dramaturge. The movie ha its particular rhythm, you may consider something theatrical, but that does not diminish at all its intrinsic virtues.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Read your history, folks!
One of the reviewers states that Cleopatra "was said to be in her 40s when she met Caesar." That would be impossible, since she died at the age of 39 (her dates are B.C.E. 69-30).

This is not hidden knowledge; it is commonly known historical fact that anyone could easily ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Give it a chance
Ceasar & Cleoptra is based on Shaw's play and alas it's very, almost painfully stiff and stagey. They essentially took the play and filmed it and that rarely if ever, works on screen. So let's talk about the good. Vivien Leigh was marvelous as the beautiful but dangerous kitten with a knife girl-queen. In real life Queen Cleo was said to be in her 40s when she met Ceasar but anyway, Vivien is sparkling.

Claude Raines is great as always as Ceasar and it's fun watching the all Brit cast ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Vivien is stunning!
This movie is pretty cool but Vivien makes it marvelous! Hey DVD people! Why does this movie get released on DVD for the UK and not the USA? I would like this movie for my DVD collection!
