[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 40292"] Okay so here are the results of round 19. Apparently your [B]favorite biography movie is[/B]: [ATTACH=full]2358[/ATTACH] [B]Cleopatra (1963) [/B] This is the story about one of the last Queens of the Nile. Cleopatra lived in Alexandria in Egypt, in the century before Christ was born. She was 18 years old when her father died and a power struggle for control over the throne broke out between her and her younger brother Ptolemaios. Cleopatra began a love affair with the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar and with his support she could claim the throne as her own. After Caesar's death she fell in love with Mark Anthony with whom she began another love affair with and later married. In the movie Cleopatra is portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor, Mark Anthony by Richard Burton and Caesar by Rex Harrison. The movie is notorious since it almost bankrupted 20th Century Fox due to a number of delays and an inflating budget. It took years to film it and they had to recast the male leads and move location after Elizabeth Taylor got seriously ill while filming in England. Burton and Taylor also fell in love during the filming and this caused quite the scandal back in the 1960's. The movie is a biography and an epic historical drama depicturing real events. It was directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. [B]You gave it a total of 25 points.
