I recall brouhaha. Not much, but some, circa 65? 66? 😜 But from German media! (my mom would pick up Der Stern and Der Spiegel from the import shop) Egypt was a very different place 60 years ago. Nasser was head honcho, and very much trying to bring Egypt "back from the dead."

Anyway, I'm watching #Cleopatra, and am digging on the spectacle. It holds up well, and is still glorious cheese.

#ElizabethTaylor

They don't make spectacles like this anymore.
#Cleopatra #ElizabethTaylor

... aaaand, she's dead.

Whew! Epic, indeed! Liz does bring it.
#Cleopatra

#Cleopatra loses nothing being dubbed in German: it still screams #CecilBDeMille. Liz Taylor, Rex Harrison, and Richard Burton do it proud, even in cheesy German.

And it is cheese most glorious...

w00t! #Cleopatra (Liz Taylor and Richard Burton) is on!
