Julius Caesar
MGM's acclaimed production of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A classical, intellectually rigorous adaptation of Shakespeare's political tragedy, exploring ambition, betrayal, and the fatal consequences of underestimating one's enemies.
The growing ambition of Julius Caesar is a source of major concern to his close friend Brutus. Cassius persuades him to participate in his plot to assassinate Caesar but both have sorely underestimated Mark Antony.
