Cleopatra is a spectacular and mammoth film presentation of one of the most controversial figures of ancient history. From her ascent to the throne at the age of seventeen to her bitter downfall and suicide, Elizabeth Taylor poignantly portrays the Queen of Egypt as a sensitive, passionate woman consumed by her ambition to rule the entire civilized world. One of the greatest love stories of all time is recreated as her explosive relationship with Mark Antony (Richard Burton) leads to eventual ruin. An elaborate and powerful account of an ingenious and fascinating woman.

Cleopatra is really 2 films in 1. The first half is Ceaser & Ceopatra, and the second half is Antony & Cleopatra. The picture quality is better than many modern day films. This version is the longest version at around 4 hours, but the story moves enough so that it doesn't seem that long.The extras are well worth watching as well. The story about the making of Cleopatra makes you realise how much went into making a film like this before computer graphics. It's well worth adding to your Blu-ray collection.
Cleopatra is a very costly film because of its day. It does not tell all the facts but its sets are to die for, we will never see it like this again ever. They now use computer graphics which were not available then. Enjoy Fox's 1963 epic, for it will never be done again. But this is the longest version left.
