Review of Julius Caesar (1953) by Adrian B — 09 Jan 2012
Solid adaption of Shakepeare's famous play has Marlon Brando playing Marc Anthony and James Mason playing Brutus. The plot follows Shakepeare's famous play, for which Julius Caesar (Louis Calhern) is killed by a number of enemies for his money, with the final, lethal stabbing caused by Brutus.
Marc Anthony avenges his death by going after those who have killed him, or conspired to the death of their wealthy king. Sometimes slow and uneven, but a pretty good version of the play. Brando's performance is good, but Mason outdoes him by quite a bit.
The photography, set pieces, and thankfully, the acting of Shakespeare written dialogue are all pretty well done. I don't like Shakespeare, but I did like this film.
