“A long-standing dream project for Charlton Heston, who directs as well as stars…The film soars whenever the actors soliloquize…Eric Porter is brilliant as Enobarbus.”
– Hal Erickson, allmovie.com
“A robust cinematic version [of Shakespeare’s play], with surprisingly grand battle scenes shot in Spain on land and sea…Potent tragedy.”
– Mark R. Hasan, KQEK.com
The iconic Charlton Heston stars in and makes his directorial début with Antony and Cleopatra (1972), playing Shakespeare’s titular hero, a man torn between grand plans for Rome and his passion for the Egyptian queen (Hildegard Neil). The supporting cast features a panoply of great character actors – Eric Porter, Fernando Rey, Freddie Jones, and Julian Glover among them – and the score from the singular John Scott is available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
