| TCM Festival: Despite the Madness, Cleopatra Is Actually a Good Movie - VANITYFAIR Posted: 26 Apr 2010 01:49 PM PDT As Kamp relates in his piece, Cleopatra required two directors, two and half years of filming, and a then-inconceivable $44 million budget. (The previous most expensive film at the time, Ben Hur, cost $15 million.) Conceived as the mother of all epics, it turned out as the mother of all disasters and pushed 20th Century Fox so far to the brink of ruin that the studio had to sell off their massive backlot to developers who turned it into present day Century City. So C.A.A. and all those swanky entertainment lawyers have Liz Taylor's numerous episodes of exhaustion to thank for their stunning Westside views. The film also killed the creative will of the acclaimed director Joseph Mankiewicz, who won Oscars for All About Eve and A Letter to Three Wives and was brought on to save the troubled production. According to Landau, who played Rufio in the film, Mankiewicz drove himself to near-death shooting by day and re-writing the ad hoc script at night: "I'd say, Joe, you know the scene we're doing today, you haven't written the scene that goes before it, or the scene that goes after. Can you tell me what goes before it?" To which Mankiewicz would reply, "It's either going to be this or that, so make a choice that covers both." Finally, and most infamously, the casting of a then under-the-radar Welsh actor as Mark Antony resulted in what Taylor would refer to as le scandale: her notorious affair with Richard Burton, which would lead both parties to leave their spouses and join in a deliciously self-destructive marriage that makes Brangelina sound like a playground romance. With all this world-class drama that has since taken on the status of myth, it's easy to forget there was an actual movie behind the madness. Watching the film, you have to appreciate the kind of manpower that the studio system could throw at a film back in the guts-and-glory days. If nothing else, the film still boasts a slave-labored lavishness the likes of which the world wouldn't see again until the Beijing Olympics. In particular, Elizabeth Taylor's entrance into Rome on a two-ton black sphinx dragged by an army of very much non-computer generated Nubian slaves takes your breath away, especially when projected on a crisp, new 70mm print at a good ole' fashioned movie palace like the Egyptian. On top of that, you realize that every ounce of incipient Burton-Taylor drama that rocked the set off-screen, flooded their performances on-screen. On film, you can read in Richard Burton's face the devilish delight of a man eager to conquer Cleopatra in the back of his Cadillac. And Taylor, every bit the World's Greatest Diva, chews through Rex Harrison's Caesar like a dainty appetizer before setting her cat eyes on Burton/Antony. Forget Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor was clearly the world's greatest method actor. For all its faults, compromises, and painful missed opportunities (according to Ben, Joseph Mankiewicz's original 6-hour version has all the good drama, which Fox chief Darryl F. Zanuck cut down), Cleopatra still blows you away, especially when you get to see it on the big screen. Walking back into the bright L.A. afternoon after four hours of hand-made spectacle, you can't help thinking, They just don't make 'em like that anymore—and probably for good reason.
