Cleopatra - 2 DVD - Elizabeth Taylor - Richard Burton - Rex Harrison

Description: Cleopatra (movie, 1963) Cleopatra (Cleopatra) is an American film directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and released in 1963. It traces the tumultuous life of the famous Queen of Egypt, played by Elizabeth Taylor. In addition to its duration - more than 4 hours - and its spectacular staging, it is known to be one of the most expensive films of all time. SynopsisThe film begins shortly after the Battle of Pharsalus, in which Julius Caesar defeated Pompey's army. The latter fled to Egypt and called to his aid the young pharaoh Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator and his sister Cleopatra VII. The Egyptians, however, preferred to assassinate Pompey, and when Caesar arrived in Egypt, they offered him the head of his enemy as a sign of goodwill. Caesar, to tell the truth, is shocked by this brutal assassination of an honorable adversary.
