...came close). The celebrated willing suspension of disbelief does not extend to accepting Miss Hepburn as a sensuous femme fatale who ages from 28 to 38. Only once is she amorously convincing, when she gradually moves in toward Antony ("Eternity was in our lips. . .") and lightly caresses his bare arm. But she lacks the "infinite variety" that Enobarbus attributes to her. Whereas Antony is a fixed entity, Cleopatra is never fixed.
