ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA (CD) (JOS)

Description: Bringing Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" was a long-standing dream project for Charlton Heston, who directs as well as stars. Hampered by a nonexistent budget, Heston and his fellow troupers serve up a production that would do justice to a good touring company. The film soars whenever the actors soliloquize in close-up, but falls down badly whenever an ensemble scene is required. Though Hildegarde Neil is merely an adequate Cleopatra, Eric Porter is brilliant as Enobarbus, rendering the fabled "barge she sat on" speech with eloquent panache. All in all, Antony and Cleopatra deserved a better distribution than it received (except for an occasional TV presentation, the film was never released in the US). 1972 Part 11Overture9:252Main Titles3:413Undying Love3:374Give Me To Drink Mandragora1:585Pompey1:506Egyptian Bacchanal3:587Cleopatra Deserted2:378Rome And Octavia1:509The Barge She Sat In4:2110Battle Of Actium6:33 Part 211Antony's Army Deserts1:5012Whither Hast Thou Led Me Egypt?2:2613Death Of Enobarbus2:0614One Last Night Of Love2:4015He Goes Forth Gallantly3:5116Sometimes We See A Cloud That's Dragonish2:4317Death Of Antony4:0018Pretty Worms Of Nilus - Death Of Cleopatra1:5019Epilogue: Eternal Rest2:
