What happens

Caesar and Cleopatra is a 1945 British historical romantic film directed by Gabriel Pascal which was a film adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's 1901 play of the same title. The film stars Vivien Leigh and Claude Rains in the title roles. Some scenes were directed by Brian Desmond Hurst, who took no formal credit. The picture was produced by Independent Producers and Pascal Film Productions and distributed by Eagle-Lion Distributors. Upon release, Caesar and Cleopatra failed to earn back its colossal budget. John Bryan was nominated for an Oscar for Best Art Direction. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
