when they open that door, they better watch their asp!
Oh, okay, *Liz*, not Cleo. Yeah, I like that movie for the sets and staging, they really don’t make ‘me that way anymore. Supposedly the $50 million+ spent from the late years of the 1950s into about 1963 to produce that version of “Cleopatra” (there were at least three earlier versions I think, in the US film industry alone, including a silent version starring Theda Bara) would run in excess of $1 billion today, making the apples-to-oranges comparison result in the most expensive film of all time, not excluding “Titanic” and “Waterworld”.
Liz is not a great actress. IMHO, she’s not even pretty, although I’ve always very much liked that pic some gracious soul posted earlier in the thread.
