I think it is one of the finest examples of epic cinema ever made. Yes, you have been off it since day one at this site and quite inexplicably so as you will champion films which are far less worthy of your praise. It's easy to imagine "what might have been" but Peter Finch was never close to being the actor Rex Harrison was. You complain about the lack of chemistry between Harrison and Taylor. Were Caesar and Cleopatra ever really in love or were they both using each other as a means to and end? I think they both play the parts with this in mind.

Putting lots of $$$ up on the screen is not sufficient per se to make a great film. <br /><br />Cecil B. DeMille did an enormously better job with Claudette Colbert in<br />1934.
