Julius Caesar
1953: Joseph L. Mankiewicz

This is still considered by many to be the best available production, despite some of its peculiarities and limitations. I’m still not quite ready to see Marlon “I coulda been a contender” Brando in a toga, and for me his flabby diction still gets in the way. But there are some rather capable acting forces here, including the inimitable James Mason and John Gielgud as Brutus and Cassius, respectively. I found relatively little about it to excite me, really, but that may be partly because Julius Caesar is not one of my very favorite Shakespeare plays.
