What happens
Antony and Cleopatra (Italian: Marc'Antonio e Cleopatra) is a 1913 Italian silent historical film directed by Enrico Guazzoni, starring Gianna Terribili-Gonzales, Amleto Novelli and Ignazio Lupi. The film nods towards William Shakespeare's play of the same title, with inspiration drawn from Plutarch's Parallel Lives (Demetrius and Antony); the play or dramatic poem Cleopatra (1879), in Italian by Pietro Cossa; and the German novel Cleopatra by Georg Ebers (1893). The film was distributed in Germany from August 1913 as Die Herrin des Nils—Cleopatra, and in the U.S. by George Kleine as Antony and Cleopatra from January 1914. The film still exists today.
