It was filmed for TV and is a bit lacking in visual quality but very much worth seeing for the performances - I enjoyed seeing a young Ben Kingsley in a minor role - also Patrick Stewart was very good - sad and funny. The cuts to the play were not very deep for me - it does run 2 hours, 40 min.

Directors of "Antony and Cleopatra" must decide what story to tell.

That version is nearly impossible to find on VHS and impossible on DVD. ... Read More

The acting is beyond superb. Ms. Suzman IS Cleopata. My only complaint is the directing. This DVD consists of 90% talking heads. The close up lens for the camera was obviously the only one available. The play is done on a stage, but it is almost never seen. Way too too much facial.
