Cleopatra
1934, NR, 100 min.
Directed by Cecil B. DeMille, Starring Claudette Colbert, Warren William, Henry Wilcoxon.
In one of the last gasps of pre-Code Hollywood, DeMille gives us a Cleopatra who decadently glides from the bedroom to the war room. It’s a lavish spectacle that features opulent costumes and won an Oscar for its cinematography.
