About this product
Product Information
This epic, spectacular love story of Egyptian queen Cleopatra and the Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Marc Antony has dazzled audiences with its elaborate sets, daring costumes, and thrilling sea battle since its release, but these can't compare with Elizabeth Taylor as the mesmerizing Cleopatra, struggling to save her Egyptian empire. When this film was released, it was known as much for its opulent filmmaking as it was for its huge budget overruns--it took two years to film because of Taylor's various ailments and a major script rewrite by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, moving the shooting studio from England to Italy, and replacing the original director and the actors to play the Roman leaders--as well as the very public and tempestuous offscreen affair between costars Taylor and Richard Burton, who duplicated their romance on the silver screen as the doomed Cleopatra and her true love, Marc Antony. Despite all the hubbub surrounding the film, audiences realized that its spectacular story could not be denied, and it has remained a classic ever since. The triple-star power of Taylor, Burton, and Rex Harrison (playing Julius Caesar) radiates throughout this lengthy production, and Mankiewicz, a consummate magician at depicting the shadings of human emotion, directed this threesome in one of the most famous and gloriously powerful love triangles ever to be captured on film.Product Identifiers

Burton at his best
Fantastic DVD release of one of Richard Burton's finest screen performances, and the film that started the affair that started it all between him and Elizabeth Taylor. Burton's fire is matched by a particularly impressive performance by Roddy McDowall as Octavian, Antony's nemesis. Interestingly, Burton and McDowall had come straight off of playing rivals in CAMELOT on Broadway, and the chemistry shows. Taylor is beautiful and compelling as Cleopatra, and Rex Harrison is remarkably good as Julius Caesar--he literally made me forget Henry Higgins in this performance, which is quite a feat from such an indelible role. Haven't gotten to watch the Special Features yet, but can't wait. Overall, a fantastic packaging of an all-time classic, and a must-have for Burton and McDowall fans.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Cleopatra oh yes.
Oh Elizabeth Taylor such a fine woman for a role she was meant to play. This is one of the few movies I enjoyed seeing her in that clearly made her such an attention grabber to see. I think my only gripe is that the movie came in a DVD format that required two disc to fit the movie. I guess perhaps the Bluray version will solve that issue. Yes this is a good purchase I recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Cleopatra (1963) 2001, 5 Star Collection DVD Set.
Liz Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison: Wow!!! This is an older set so no HD or Blu-ray but still visually stunning. Good extras in this “5 Star Collection” disk set. Still had the dusty Blockbuster wrapper on it too. The colors are great. Costumes and sets are incredible. I think I heard that this was the most expensive film ever made at the time (1963) and I can see that. The sets and wardrobe are incredible. The dialogue (Richard Burton, Rex Harrison and of course Liz) is great. One of my all time favorite films. All 248 minutes!!! Yep it’s long. Elizabeth Taylor is absolutely gorgeous and the director/wardrobe designer gives us a lot of chances to notice it too. This era of Hollywood is the best to me (late 50’s through mid 60’s). A must have for classic film people. Probably incredible on Blu-ray but the regular old dvd is ok with me. Im not in to 100,000,000” TVs and 4K etc. guy. I like dialogue and my old 28” Vizio in the bedroom won’t quit so... -c.👍🏼

One of the monumental classic movie ever made
Thoroughly enjoyable and timeless. Sad that for many today movies like Cleopatra are basically lost. The grandeur and scope of what was put into this movie (what is only CGI'd today)alone is well worth the time to watch it. The acting I believe is also of a high caliber.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fantastic Spectacle
Still an awesome movie but, I must admit I am a huge fan of Liz Taylors. It certainly shows how much expense and trouble Hollywood use to go to in the name of entertainment. Sadly, they don't make them like this anymore.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Burton & Taylor Make a Lovely Couple
The movie is spectacular; It should be.... just based on the enormous budget alone. Richard and Liz were naturals for this type of roller coaster relationship. Supporting cast superb, especially Rodney McDowell. Hard to believe there were no digital effects since it was made prior to such things.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
