Plot

The Egyptian queen's alliances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony and her fall, in a lavishly expensive epic.

Sinekatalog’s take

Joseph L. Mankiewicz's famously costly epic is lavish and overlong, but Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's chemistry and the huge production still dazzle. A bloated spectacle with real star power.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
