CLEOPATRA AND THE UNDOING OF HOLLYWOOD: How One Film Almost Sunk the Studios

The 1963 film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton stands alone in cinema legend. This is an epic tale of love and lust; of gossip, money, sex, movie-star madness, studio politics and the birth of paparazzi journalism. Within the saga of Cleopatra lies the end of the era of Hollywood's studio system, the seeds of the Swinging Sixties, and the stuff of timeless movie legend. 16 pages of photoes.
