Cleopatra (1963) ♥

Part two of the 50th anniversary blu ray:

It sort of trailed off for me in this second part. That really just sums it up!

Part one of the 50th anniversary Blu-ray set:

The sheer scale of the undertaking here is breathtaking. The ceremony culminating in Cleopatra’s arrival on the giant sphinx is a stunning display of utter grandeur!

One thing that stands out is how little the film actually Cleopatra in its first half. For a story named after her, she feels secondary.
