I’ve shifted movies to watch Elizabeth Taylor’s Cleopatra a movie I love passionately. Taylor played that to the hilt
I can not be the only history buff who gets tearful at the burning of the library of Alexander
Srlsy Elizabeth Taylor still bursts off the screen, she was so beautiful and so powerful
Does anyone know of a good streaming version of Shakespeare’s Julius Cesar? I can’t stop comparing this (Elizabeth Taylor’s Cleopatra) and Julius Cesar
@Moxitude Britbox has it (also available through Prime for a fee). It’s the 1979 BBC version.
@sanau Oohh thanks! I can jump from cleopatra to that and then to I Claudius!
@Moxitude I loved I, Claudius. So much so that I sought out Suetonius' The Twelve Caesars after watching the PBS series.
@GlennS I started that after seeing it too! I just got distracted along the way with life
I haven’t read Shakespeare’s Cesar for a decade or more and yet I can almost anticipate every word. I love this play. I can’t wait to watch ‘I Claudius’ though because who doesn’t love trashy Roman soap operas?
