Description
|
|
|
|
In 1947 Charlton Heston made his Broadway debut as a minor character in Antony and Cleopatra. A quarter century later, he adapted the Bard's story about Rome's hero and Egypt's queen (Hildegard Neil) for the big screen as screenwriter and director, and cast himself in the title role of Marc Antony. Though working on a shoestring budget, he gives the movie the Ben-Hur treatment, opening up the story to its cinematic possibilities with royal pomp and spectacle among the pyramids, warfare at sea, and a clash of armies on land.
