...Caesar and Cleopatra is not "Egypt" and there is not enough art used to make the audience forget that. If, however, the audience is willing to overlook the irregal appearance of Claudette Colbert and the small town chattiness of Roman teaparties, the picture is a good spectacle. For sheer sensual spectacularity it would be hand to beat the scene where Anthony is first seduced.
