Viewing Notes

DeMille’s CLEOPATRA is too grandiose and striking to be bad but too goofy and out-of-its-mind insane to be “good”. Therefore, it’s GREAT. This is seriously loony stuff with plenty of laughs that don’t feel super out-of-place, just part of the nutso, glue-sniffing bonkers experience. Colbert is wicked gorgeous as usual.
