  • Call Marlon, it hurts seing this...

  • Pretty amateurish. But, what do you expect? It's Charlton Heston in a $15,000 production filmed in Chicago with a non-professional cast.

    He was merely a film star, not an actor, totally lacking in range, depth and nuance. No wonder his somewhat useful career lasted less than ten years.

  • A wonderful classical actor. I wish there were more recordings of him in this sort of thing. That speech runs quite fast because it's unpunctuated, doesn't have any natural pausing points, and intensifies in emotion. Charlton seemed to do a good job pacing it. His delivery of the last last line was the best - full of hot rage harnessed for a cold revenge.

  • wow

  • Best part of the best version of the best play

  • This was very, VERY early in Heston's professional career. For my taste, he rather rushes through it, although he's quite effective in "Let slip the dogs of war." Heston performed this great monologue (during my acting days 20-30 years ago, it was one of my audition pieces:)) much more effectively in Stuart Burge's 1970 film of "Julius Caesar."

  • a good idea ,stevevandien,to post the BURGE 1970 version,with its fantastic monologue;despite the poor direction,a fantastic piece of acting,with more subtility and overtones than the much praised BRANDO version!

  • "Let's slip the dogs of war" was truly brilliant. I love Charlton Heston.

  • Interesting to compare Heston's early performance of Antony's monologue with that he did some 20 years later for the JC directed by Stuart Burge -- wish it was on You Tube:) -- I think I've got it on videotape, somewhere in storage; will post it if I can find it --

  • Even when he was young and inexperienced we can see his talent.

    The first part was a little overacting, but the "Let's slip the dogs of war" was just amazing, brilliant.

    A great actor, RIP
