Customer Reviews of Cleopatra (Five Star Collection)
Elizabeth Taylor Reigns Supreme! Cleopatra is one the all time classic of motion pictures of all time. The cinematography is the first thing you notice. This movie does everything on a grand scale of imagery and color. With thousands of extras, costumes and brilliant sets sprinkled throughout. Everything on a very large scale and the power of the scenes can vibrate through the screen
The DVD contains an extremely cool look at the politic behind the productions. The trials and tribulations of getting the picture off the ground, into production and out of the can and into the theatres was a major battle.
Richard Burton, Roddy McDowell and Martin Landau give stoic but multi layered performances. The Jewel in this movies crown is by far Elizabeth Taylor. He performance ranges from outraged to the sweetest lover you would ever want to have. In the end she even dies in grace and with honor.
A very layered character, Cleopatra was troubled, hurt and extremely promiscuous at least until she met Marc Anthony. The all "hell" broke lose between the Egyptians and the Romans. Accurately portrayed too!
Its is a great look at ancient history and for film students all over the documentary can really educate you on why Hollywood film making is the way it is today. The magic of the epic movie has never been as bright. This is a must for your DVD collections.
outstanding DVD presentation
This is an outstanding presentation of the classic CLEOPATRA, renowned as being one of the costliest and most exessive movies ever made.
Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Rex Harrison all give superb performances. They are more than equaled by a supporting cast that includes Martin Landau, Roddy McDowall, Hume Cronyn and Francesca Annis.
This splendid DVD set comprises the Road-Show version of the film including Overture and Intermission, along with a bonus disc containing art galleries, documentaries and trailers.
Although the film was regarded as the one that almost bankrupt 20th Century Fox, it broke box-office records when first released and has since made it's money back in countless re-releases and television screenings.
Originally screened in a length of 6 hours, the Road-Show version runs for 4 hours. The cutting of the film was instigated by Darryl Zanuck, who decided the film was too long to be screened in one sitting. Archivists and restoration experts have since looked for the missing two hours of film, hoping to restore the film to it's proper length and re-releasing it.
This DVD is a beautiful testament to one of the most ravishing films ever made...CLEOPATRA.
THE BEST FROM OLD HOLLYWOOD
Although Miss Taylor is no match compared to Vivien Leigh in CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA; this i s by far the best epic from old Hollywood - and the most entertaining..... Enough said. Ok, I can`t shut up; the arrival of Cleopatra into Rome is a masterpiece in itself... and the choreography is by the renowned Hermes Pan:-)
