Audience Member The best romance movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review bill t Okay, but somewhat overwraught version of Cleopatra which stars Helen Gardner in the title role. She pretty much acts in the overacting hands everywhere style so prevalent in silenct actresses. The story goes all over the place about the on again off again relationship between mark Anthony and Cleopatra. That's the main plot, what else is going on I'm really not too sure. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting more for it's historical value than its somewhat clumsy production. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member ok silent version of this often told tale Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
