The talk about Mark Anthony is great:

- Would he be my husband if I ask him?

- Very likely

- Does he love anyone else?

- I ´m afraid so

- So I shall not be his first love

- Not quite the first

Great, and Caesar´s face...he was sooo jelaous!

People say that Shaw´s goal in this was to show that Caesar interest in Cleopatra was merely because politics but I think he really loved her.

[ludocrat]

It is somewhat clipped, isn't it? And it - maybe as a consequence - gallops along at breakneck speed despite Sir Alec's valiant struggle to peg it back a notch or two with his easy delivery and knowledgeably modulated enuncia...tion.

Blame the director!

It may be more the inevitable consequences of the exigencies of television productions.

[ludocrat]

You're dead right, of course.
