...scenes of intimate conversation. My only objection to her portrayal is that it leans something too heavily on the prop of youth. Even at her first meeting with Caesar, Cleopatra must be something more than girlish--she must demonstrate a potential for rule.

Wrote Valenti: "The only two modern figures who could be truly said to possess magic charisma, whose voice and person cast a spell over their countrymen and whom people followed blindly and exultingly were the two largest tyrants of our age, Hitler and Mussolini." Somehow, he overlooked such charismatic non-tyrants as Churchill and Gandhi, Roosevelt and De Gaulle-and for that matter, John...
