The sets are terrific and the plot is okay, a bit hokey in parts but one big plus is that it does run under two hours unlike another Cleopatra. The battle scenes are somewhat stilted when looked at in this day and age, but when one considers how the special effects would have been achieved they are wonderfully inventive. I particularly enjoyed Claudette Colbert as the title heroine and one other thing I have noticed and admired with this film and others from the same era is that the slave/dancing girls look like real women. I love that. I was surprised at how good Warren William was having never seen or heard of him before. He could easily hold his own with any contemporary leading man. Henry Wilcoxon was a favourite of C B DeMille as of course was Claudette Colbert and they too give reasonably timeless performances. Cleopatra's Galley is a thing of wonder. Terrific.
All in all a film I recommend completely although as I said I am biased.
I particularly enjoy this story because of its simplicity. The Egypt of immense uncountable wealth vs. the Rome of remorseless force & iron. Cleopatra wanted to unite the two under one man. She knew she would control any man within sight of her if she could only get him alone. The foibles of all the major characters Caesar, Marc Antony & Cleopatra make for a stirring blend of problems set against the totally foreign to each other social systems.
In the end though, it's all about love. Does it exist or is all manipulation? Is it eternal or only a passing fancy? Do I die for my love, my country, my failures or myself? This is a great rendition of this story given the strictures they had at that time. I'm glad I own it to watch when I want. Hail Caesar! 5 STARS

The DVD also has some fascinating extras about the making of the film and they really knew how to make them in the 30's
No CGI - all real extras and real sets .
She could act and looked realy hot wile doing it.
This movie has her at her best in some very gaudy costumes and lavish sets being a
Cecil B DeMille epic this is to be expected. He went all out all the time.
I had seen bits of this movie on clasic movie documentries in the past. I have enjoyed watching it over and over on the DVD.
It has an intelligent story and requires the use of brain cells so may not be popular with fans of modern films.
