Filming of Cleopatra in Rome begins

"Finally, after several years of hard work and headaches, we went to Rome to start shooting on the spot." This is the painful and helpless memory of Cleopatra's producer Walter Wanger. The production cost of the film was not high at first, but after Fox agreed to pay Elizabeth Taylor up to $1 million, the production cost unexpectedly skyrocketed.

In fact, this situation has been revealed long before the filming started. On the evening of September 24th, after the director arrived at the set scene, he felt that the statue of Isis was very grotesque, so he asked the prop engineer to make a new one-a group of experts worked all night to redo the statue, but on the second day, The producers also felt that this should not be the way it is now, so they were ordered to redo it. This kind of thing happened intermittently in the subsequent shooting.

    too! difficult! Look! ! Although the story was restored well, it was too procrastinated, and the 4-hour movie made me feel bad when I saw it! And Taylor's acting skills are also very poor, there is no "glamorous", and he can't show his ambition, let alone resourcefulness, just a vase.

    Well, maybe this film has more negative reviews in various aspects, but I still gave 4 selfishly. Personal preference
