Cleopatra (1963) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers
You’d be forgiven for thinking Cleopatra was just a powerful seductress who liked snakes and was big on eye makeup because the image you’ve gotten about her was probably formed from movies like the 1963 “historical” epic “Cleopatra,” starring screen siren Elizabeth Taylor. Even if you haven’t seen the movie in full — and you probably haven’t, because it’s five hours long — images of Taylor as Cleopatra are embedded in popular and film culture. If somehow you have never seen Taylor in character as the legendary queen, here’s the original trailer, and yes, it’s long and meandering, just like the movie, but definitely worth a watch, if only for the dazzling outfits and scenery.
