Trivia:
This movie was shot during WW2 which resulted in production being halted repeatedly due to bombings on England. The war also hampered the production's ability to get necessary materials, so the crew had to do the best they could. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: Caesar refers to his nose as "rather long" and "a Roman nose," but the idea of a "Roman nose" was not introduced until almost 150 years later, when the Emperor Hardian erected statues of his favorite, Antinous, throughout the Empire (where many of the people had never seen a Roman), and Antinous's long nose was taken as typical of Romans (even though Antinous was a Greek). moreQuotes:
Julius Caesar: And so to the end of history, murder shall breed murder, always in the name of right, and justice, and peace, until the gods create a race of men that can understand. moreFAQ

Don't believe Leonard Maltin et al. This is a wonderful movie with great performances by Vivien Leigh (Cleopatra), Claude Rains (Caesar), and Flora Robson (the maid). A truly literate and witty script and the solid appearances of Stewart Granger, Francis L. Sullivan, Ernest Thesiger, and Basil Sidney make this a must see. Anthony Harvey appears as Ptolemy; he later directed The Lion in Winter! Leigh and Rains are especially good and their chemistry together is peerless. The sets are also magnificent. A truly wonderful "adult" film. This is my by favorite Vivien Leigh performance.
