[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 402395, member: 57984"] It's one of those breezy, gossipy movie docs which is sometimes more fun that the actual film its tattling on. About 20 years ago, I recall watching it [B][I]endlessly [/I][/B]for whatever reason. If only they could find that missing footage that would take CLEOPATRA from its four-hour (or less) theatrical version to its proper six hours that Joe Mankiewicz envisioned. But they didn't used to save extraneous footage back then, before the days of home video. (And no one apparently thought to save a full-length cut for the later sale to TV, which could have been even more lucrative). Taylor demanded her bud, Roddy McDowall, be cast for Octavian (a mistake on the face of it -- it should have been an Oliver Reed). But she also got Monty Clift cast for SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER, another error. [ATTACH type="full" width="815px"]53531[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
