Julius Caesar (1970)

My Rating

Movie Info

Except for the omission of several passages in the original play, this 1970 adaptation of Julius Caesar faithfully retells Shakespeare's account of events surrounding the assassination of Caesar in 44 B.C. The film begins when Caesar John Gielgud is at the height of his power after conquering Pompey "the Great" in a civil war. Important senators worry that Caesar means to become king, diminish their power, and abolish their beloved Roman republic. Two senators, Cassius Richard Johnson and Brutus

Audience Reviews for Julius Caesar

I watched this in sophomore Literature class in high school. A phenomenal cast. How often do you see Richard Chamberlain, Christopher Lee and the late, great Sir John Gielgud play essentially supporting roles to Charlton Heston, Richard Johnson (who plays a phenomenal Cassius), Diana Rigg, Jason Robards, Robert Vaughn

I liked it and I'm glad that I read the play (and got explained about it by my English teacher) beforehand, because I wouldn't have gotten any of it and, as a result, it would have had gotten a lower rating.
