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

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.

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!
