Editorial Reviews

Joseph L. Mankiewicz directed this exquisite version of William Shakespeare's play. Louis Calhern is Julius Caesar, whose conquests have enabled him to rise to the status of Roman dictator. But his ascent to almost God-like status has given pause to influential members of the Roman Senate. Chief among them is Cassius (John Gielgud), who is troubled by Caesar's popularity and dictatorial status. Convinced that Caesar's assassination would be the best thing for Rome, he conspires with Casca (Edmond O'Brien) and the influential Brutus (James Mason) to plot Caesar's murder. Despite dark omens, Caesar walks confidently into the Roman Senate, where he is stabbed to death by the conspirators. His companion Marc Antony (Marlon Brando) is shocked and runs to the corpse of his beloved friend. He agrees to support Brutus while an unruly mob gathers in front of the Senate doors, having heard rumors of Caesar's assassination. Brutus convinces the mob that Caesar's death was for the good of Rome, preventing him from forming a monarchy. Then Antony appears, determined to destroy the conspirators; he delivers a speech that subtly damns the assassins. With the mob against them, the conspirators are forced to flee Rome and Antony organizes an army against them. Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

March 30, 2009: A painless and interesting presentation of Shakespeare's play. The performances are so outstanding that one scarcely notices the Old English being spoken. Another example of the virtuosity of Brando in the early days...his "Friends, Romans, Countrymen..." speech as Marc Anthony is brilliantly done and the most effective, most memorable part of the film. James Mason is also noteworthy as Brutus. Recommended even for those who are not partial to Shakespearean drama. This will change your perception.
