This is, without a doubt, the best scene in the entire film! And just imagine how long it took to film this scene! With all the costumes, the choreography, the extras, the music, the set designs, and this being only 9 minutes (the ENTIRE scene) out of a 4-hour long film, I mean, come on, it’s no wonder why this film very nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox Studios! But even after nearly 60 years, it’s still a classic film that was an investment well worth spent!
I'm totally agree that this movie debasted the economy of 20 century fox, but in the other hand they conquered the entire film industry worldwide, with art!
And that's only the last part, the whole entrance was much longer. There is a pre-show, dances, races and hundreds of half naked beautiful women etc... That was insane !
I wish movies were still created this way, no special effects, and their costume and everything look so well made and damn, Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous!
What is incredible is no cgi garbage and they really have all of those people out there with the prop, costumes, scenery . . . It just had to be incredible to be there. Today you would have a few actors in front of green screen (wow, sooooo impressive.)
Yes, agreed. Also look at the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the early 2000's-- such fantastic costuming and sets with *some* CGI used sparingly and in a smart way. Unfortunately Hollywood prefers CGI now due to the cost and amount of effort needed for productions like these.. back when the technology wasn't there, there was no choice but to put in this tremendous amount of effort/money
Okay within this production, lots of people lost their jobs, the production was bankrupt, the lead actor almost died due to the prosthetics she was wearing and the icing on the top it bombed the box office. Yeah but sure this is what we should be doing now, right?
Just watched this film a couple of hours ago. The amount of work that the actors and choreographers had to do to create a breathtaking scene is pretty impressive and the fact that this was filmed in 1963 shows the impeccable talent that people shows. Truly one of my favorites.
The little boy who played Cleopatra son was really frightened being up on that high sphinx. Elizabeth Taylor reassured the little digger that everything was going to be ok while the scene was being filmed.
It was all fizz and no gin. All historically-inaccurate spectacle that boils down to a fairly banal middle-aged romance (Liz and Dick were far more convincing in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, which was, shall we say, more historically accurate). Problem is, at bottom you need a script with something meaningful to say.
It wasn’t a flop movie,but the scandal around the romance between Liz Taylor and Richard Burton was a bigger sensation ,all news paper were paying more attention to the romance then the movie itself as a result few people went to watch the movie ,Twenty century Fox lost a ton of money !

Think if the engineers had taken the wrong measurements and Cleopatra's trolly hadn't fit through the gate. The awkwardness and embarassement would have been epic.
There was such NO GATE in Roma, before CRASY NERON did burn central part of Rome in order to make place for City Center to construct some buildings as temples, forum, coloseum ...
In Pompey's first Triumph he rode a chariot pulled by elephants but it came to an abrupt end when they could not fit through the gate. The Dictator Sulla laughed hysterically over that.
The silence from 3:04 to 4:13 was directing perfection! Indeed a colossal momentous film this was. Every time I watch Cleopatra it gives me a new fulfilling experience.

Sycha Rhodes this was like 60-70 years ago I’m asian and they made old movies about white people being asian and I understand that’s what the actors did cause the producers forced them
Axel Aguirre Exactly Egyptians were “brown” meaning they had color right? Something that Elizabeth Taylor lacks...Honey I think you’re confused...Not all black people are the color of night sweetheart...Black comes in all different shades, every shade of brown you can think of...black people shades are a variety. Blacks can range from being the lightest shade of brown to the darkest. This movie was very disrespectful and they should’ve had actual black people at least from Egypt or Africa at least to act out their own culture instead of white people repeatedly erasing their history and only wanting them to believe the only thing they were actually apart of was slavery and that’s so not true when before that Africa had a great dynasty of beautiful strong kings and queens, like how would white people feel if a black person or Asian person portrayed King Henry VIII or Queen Elizabeth I or Queen Victoria. The people would have a fit just like they did when a little black girl was in the remake of Annie when that shit was fiction not even an actual story in history 🤦♀️ all I’m saying is this portrayal and many others are very disrespectful and offensive to the actual history and culture of the indigenous peoples.

How is something back in the 60s more accurate than 2023…

She wasn’t white stupid

By the way, the original running time of this film was 6 hours and it almost bankrupted the studio, despite also being the highest grossing film of that year.
six hours!? damn and i thought Lawrence of Arabia was a long movie
The only accurate word for this film is "bloat."
almost 5 minutes only for an entrance
Welcome to WrestleMania ! Oh wait...
That's why It was 4 hours movie
I would watch even if its ten minutes. This is beautiful...
they could make it shorter
If it was made today it would’ve been 1 minute long

Am I the only one who came here to see the real Cleopatra, after what kind of shit was filmed by Netflix?
Elizabeth Taylor is more historically accurate than random black actress lol
Essa Cleópatra me parece o tipo de mulher que faria generais e reis perderam a cabeça somente por sua beleza.
@@jasonbourne1840 ok racista

@@belle3055 that’s not racism it’s the truth Cleopatra was Greek and not black 💀
I don't know how many times I have seen this...
Truly Epic.....
Her Stardom....OMG🌟
Movie sets were really impressive back then
Yeah, but there was a lot of gaffer tape..
Now it would be Liz Taylor and a CGI crowd
Jonas Blane II no not really
Yh lol
Jonas Blane II yea right
And only a 20 second parade
Coming here after that shit that Netflix did

She’s so beautiful omg the way she winked at the end 😍😍

LOL 😂
One of the greatest entrances in cinematic history.
Spectacular! Notice the great detail in the background.
No CGI.
One of the most stunning scenes
Whole movie was THE TRUE MASTERPIECE
Yupper
the things the producers went through back then and no cgi or computer graphics just green screen
Bitch please these are white people 😂😂😂😂...
Ashlyn Wolff masterpiece pfffff
@@owenwalker9373 and what is problem with White pwople🤭
Elizabeth Taylor was and still is the ultimately Cleopatra.
What do you think about Vivian Leigh's performance??
@@KittyCatSpartan117 Vivien was supremely talented. That film wasn't directed well but she shines in every role. Her filmography is rather sparse hence people don't talk much about her but she was one of the best actresses ever for sure.
Vivian Leigh & Claude Rains I enjoyed too. Yes it's stagey but very witty.
In my opinion the best looking and worst written Cleopatra was Lyndsey Marshal.She had the historic look in the bag.
Love old movies. Colosal and huge sets
This whole scene is quite an impressive feat. Cleopatra was one of the greatest queens in human history.
Fact: 7,000 Italian extras were used and they were actually screaming “Elizabeth!” 🙂
Is it true many of those extras were actually crazy ET fans?
the level of extra I achieve to be 😂😂
This cleopatra better than jada

I like the wink that was really authentic lol

Hello Emily how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Gives me chills.... everytime. Makes me, even feel powerful🥰
Side note: The music in this scene is being played on the type of instruments that existed in Cleopatra's time.
They see me rollin’ they hatin’ 😂
my kind of humor gurl
One of the greatest scenes in Movie history Elizabeth Taylor is Beautiful Gorgeous Personified!!😍👸💃
Except Cleopatra was black so this looks stupid in hindsight
+Miami heatles 27 Kleopatra was Macedonian Greek mixed with Persian. She wasn’t black.
An ironic cucumber in Colorado whoa okay Cleopatras favourite 😂😂😂😂 god Yu know heaps 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
@@miamiheatles2784 Her father was greek and persian. We all know she was from Egypt, but Just because she was born in Egypt doesn't mean she was black. She was part of the elite of Egypt, if you don't know, Greece conquered Egypt and a huge part of the elite of Greece migrated to Egypt. Probably her father was one of those greeks.
@@VNuxion There is no probably. Kleopatra’s father was Ptolemy XII.
The music is so perfect
this is more or less the only reason I watched the movie, was worth it for this scene 😂😂
the longer version with the buildup to her entrance is even better. You think it will never end then boom (even if they are depicting slaves pulling her..float (?) I can’t imagine being in 1963 and never having seen a spoiler, and seeing this on the big screen. Had to be pretty epic.
The original “don’t be extra” meme
Decades later and that wink is still as captivating as the day I first saw it. Timless.
netflix "documentary" my a$s.
This is the only true Cleopatra.
Racist
That wink she gives to Caesar. And Caesar's looks at her so proud. Uh! Such a wonderful film. So much said in those two shots without a word.
So impressive, not only that they built this set, but that they did it _twice!_
What a regal entrance! Greatly shot...
It’s insane.. none of this is cgi..
The most iconic sequence Ive seen. I remember being Mesmerised first time I watched it.
She's so beautiful😘😘...
Cleo was a black queen, get it right
She was Macedonian not black.
Spanish مصرية Egyptians are black, but cleopatra was not. Cleopatra was not of Egyptian descent. She was of Macedonian and Greek descent. This is common information.
bubblepopelectric the Egyptian were brown
@@spanish6151 Greek***
There is nothing that can beat this film and this clip is stunning!
Now that is how to make an entrance. Alex North wrote a fantastic score - love his music.
Everyone is talking how itsimd blogging that they made this film in 1960s but
It's mind boggling to imagine that people literally lived like that or even much more than this 1000s of years ago.
Walking in on the first day of school like
Absolutely fabulous Elizabeth so enchanting what an entrance such a beautiful film
and that my dear is how you make an entrance. I don't think any other movies before or after has been so magnificently extravagant and over the top.
Burton seemed to shrink & gulp.

She wasn’t white stupid
You just believe everything white people worshiper
@@belle3055 u got to trolling
Hollywood back in these times and even before this era was honestly so classy ! Also I really tried to watch this movie when I was like 17 and it was hard to watch but now I wanna watch it
