Historical epic. The triumphs and tragedy of the Egyptian queen, Cleopatra.
Joseph L Mankiewicz's four-hour Cleopatra (1963) is a stately but sometimes mindboggling spectacle. This restored big-screen version shouldn't be missed.
Forget Actium; this is Hollywood's battle royal. And, like certain terrible movies down the ages, it's impossible to tear your eyes away.
