Julius Caesar
No grander Caesar... No greater cast!
A grand, Shakespeare-adapted tragedy of political betrayal and civil war in ancient Rome, emphasizing spectacle and classical themes of ambition and fate.
All-star cast glamorizes this lavish 1970 remake of the classic William Shakespeare play, which portrays the assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, and the resulting war between the faction led by the assassins and the faction led by Mark Anthony.
