One of the most superior productions of a Shakespearean play ever filmed. This film is alive with all the brilliance of its famous speeches and vital characterizations. Marlon Brando is Marc Antony and James Mason is Brutus. The struggle for political power and the value of honor are meticulously portrayed.
