Mar 12, 2022Brando really is suprisingly good here (the rest of the cast is as great as you expect) and I like how this adaptation reduces the play to it's essential pieces which allows for the plot to move quickly.Alec B Super Reviewer

Dec 11, 2021Quality production and presentation, a historical tale told with vigor, and some savvy interpretation of Shakesperian dialogue by studied tradespeople at the height of their craft are all true reasons to seek this one out. It nearly seems to be a lost relic so little do I hear people speak of it when hashing about "classic cinema" but I think it rates. Brando's "I come to bury Caesar" speech is a reason to forgive humanity its failings.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Oct 14, 2017In this movie, you have the world's greatest playwright (Shakespeare) combined with one of the world's greatest actors (Brando), two other fantastic talents (Mason and Gielgud), and a compelling historical tale (the assassination of Julius Caesar and resulting civil war). On paper, this should be an extraordinary film. And I have to say, the scenes with Brando right after the assassination are compelling (the one in private ending with him raging "Cry 'Havoc!'", and of course the address to the crowd), even if he slips on a word or two. Watch it primarily for those, because the rest of the film, while erudite and worth watching, just doesn't translate as well. I disliked Louis Calhern as Caesar as he didn't have the right bearing or presence. Director Mankiewicz is faithful, perhaps too faithful, to the original, though adapting the play may have been a damned if you do, damned if you don't type situation. Regardless, there are elements that shine with Shakespeare's beautiful words, and there are other elements that fall flat.Antonius B Super Reviewer

Nov 15, 2013This adaptation of Shakespeare is, like the play, more interested in the post Caesar world than the title character. Brando gives us the most realistic Antony speech that I have ever seen. Mason and Gielgud are tremendous as the villains.John B Super Reviewer
