Customer Reviews of Cleopatra
Wondeful film!! See the Taylor version, though! CLEOPATRA. Hollywood has been telling the story for years. On a quest to see the perfect version, this comes close. But dosen't quite cut it. The best version still is, and always will be 1963's Cleopatra starring Elizabeth Taylor. This is a delieghtful version starring Claudette Colbert as Cleopatra, Warren William as Julius Ceaser, and Henry Wilcoxen as Marc Antony. Every member of the cast gives great performances! The costumes are quite racy for the 1930's, and are very breathtaking, but the black and white dosen't do thgem justice! The sets are nice, but you have to take into consideration that the technology was not as good as in 1963 or today for that matter!
Just a word to Universal when releasing this film to DVD, to do the film justice PLEASE add an extra colourized print!! This would do the film's sets and costume's justice!
Silly Good Fun
Claudette Colbert isn't really an actress you'd expect to find playing the Queen of the Nile, but she and her co-stars make the 1930s film version a lot more entertaining than the mammoth Elizabeth Taylor version ever was: playing with tongue firmly in cheek from a very high-flown script indeed, they make CLEOPATRA a very entertaining show.
Although the film holds true to stereotypes rather than fact, it is consistent in its presentation of ancient Egypt, and everything looks and sounds like it belongs together. The 1930s costumes and sets (which refrence earlier Deco interpretations of Egyptian motif rather than the originals themselves) are lavish, and they lend a great deal of fun to the slightly whoopsie nature of the performances. If you're looking for a serious, historical Cleopatra, you won't find her in de Mille's over-the-top film--but it is a LOT of fun!
