Based upon histories by Plutarch, Suetonius, Appian, other ancient sources, and The Life And Times Of Cleopatra by C.M. Franzero, the bigger-than-life story of Cleopatra comes to Blu-ray Disc™ in a two-disc set celebrating the film's 50th Anniversary Edition. Taking over five years to make, at a cost of sixty million, and nearly sending its studio, 20th Century Fox, into bankruptcy, the story revolves around the history of Queen Cleopatra (Taylor), who, after being exiled from the palace by her weirdo brother Ptolemy (Richard O'Sullivan), looks for assistance from Marc Antony. The movie won Oscars® for Cinematography (color), Art Direction (color), Costume Design (color), and Special Effects. (Laurie Sevano)
