Julius Caesar (1953): Mankiewicz’ Version of Shakespeare, Starring Marlon Brando, John Gielgud, James Mason

Surprisingly, Shakespeare's noted play, “Julius Caesar,” gets an intelligent, well-acted, quite fluent rendition in this MGM film, produced by the estimable John Houseman and directed and adapted by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, then riding high on account of his Oscars for "A Letter to Three Wives" and "All About Eve."
