Cleopatra
Avg rating 6.6 / My rating TBC
1963 · Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz · With Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison
- Historical Epic
- Melodrama
- Classical Hollywood
The young queen of Egypt, caught between a dynastic rivalry at home and the growing power of Rome, sets out to secure her throne through alliance with the most powerful men of the age. A talky, richly staged epic that treats politics and romance as one subject.
