Listen "Cleopatra"
Episode Synopsis
Cleopatra is the last of the “unstreamables” in our miniseries on the 7th Academy Awards, and despite its costume designs it was actually released after the Code was being enforced. This historical epic from Cecil B DeMille might be historically inaccurate and say more about 1930s society than it does the fall of the Roman Republic, but at least it features an opulent seduction sequence on a barge and perhaps the most maximalist battle montage of all-time!
