Antony And Cleopatra

Shakespeares works, Charlton Heston said, are "the measuring stick against which you measure an actors work." Heston made his Broadway debut against that measuring stick, appearing in a supporting role in Antony And Cleopatra. Twenty-five years later, he was one of the worlds biggest stars when he brought his authoritative presence and literary command to the lead role of Marc Antony in this masterful movie adaptation of the Bards tale of Romes hero and Egypts queen (Hildegarde Neil). Heston wrote the adaptation and also directed, opening up the story to its cinematic possibilities with spectacle, pyramids, warfare at sea (with some similarity to Hestons mighty Ben-Hur) and a clash of armies on land. Peter Snell produced the epic drama.
