By far the most expensive movie made up to its release date and even now with inflation adjustments still one of the mostly costly films ever, Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s Cleopatra remains an entertaining if troubled film. One part epic and two parts intimate love stories, Cleopatra may have been a monumental folly of waste and indulgence behind the scenes, but much of that huge $40 million expenditure shows up on the screen in the huge and intricately detailed sets, vast seas of extras, extravagant costumes, and a cast of stars that, for the most part, do the best they can under (in hindsight) considerably trying circumstances.
