Cleopatra

The movie Cleopatra got lots of bad reviews over the years. It may have lost money costing $40 million but in fact it's a pretty good movie.

Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Rex Harrison all add to the story. Some of the movie is historically accurate. Although Cleopatra entering the Roman Forum und ther Arch of Constantine is pretty funny. That arch was built 400 years later. It is like having Christopher Columbus walking by the Empire State Building.

It is a long movie (4 hours) but entertaining and worth watching on a long rainy day.
