Antony and Cleopatra 1972: Cleopatra: Hildegard Neil; Charlton Heston:Director

Nudity is another exploitative production value in the modern media:"Cleopatra is being dressed by servants." (Act I, scene 3). The stress on physical sexuality is also a characteristic of modern Shakespearean stage performances, however unhistorical in Elizabethan terms. Film produced in Madrid, Spain.
