[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 438832, member: 5079"] I'm about midway through the podcast and enjoying it very much. When I have engaged in fantasy recasting of this movie, I usually land on Brando & Olivier as Antony and Caesar. Such daydream diversions don't get as particular as how the billing would have worked out. One thing's for sure, Brando wouldn't have made the production [I]easier[/I]. While I'm not a huge Brando fan, I like Burton in the negative range. I find his acting schtick of shifting between mumbling and booming to be tiresome. My fantasy recasting never gets far though. As critical as I am about Liz in the role, there really isn't another actress of the era who works any better. I usually just slap Sophia Loren into the part and call it a day. She'd have been even worse than Liz at handling the dialogue, but at least less shrill. And to add to your displeasure at my recastings, Roddy McDowall is the only one I [I]don't [/I]replace.
