An excellent film
This production stands as a shining example of how a big Hollywood studio, in this case M-G-M, can make a great Shakespeare film, cast it intelligently, and still end up with box-office names. No less than five Hollywood stars – Marlon Brando, James Mason, Deborah Kerr, Greer Garson, and Edmond O’Brien, are in this film (although two of them have barely five minutes of screen time) and the entire cast gives fine performances.

James Mason, who actually has the leading role of Brutus (despite the fact that Brando gets top billing) is excellent, giving a conscience-stricken, restrained performance–he even LOOKS the way one likes to imagine that Brutus must have looked. Marlon Brando reminds us of what a brilliant actor he once was–for an actor who deliberately stayed away from Shakespeare, his performance is remarkable–and every word he says is understandable. This film was the great John Gielgud’s first chance to immortalize one of his great roles on film and to show movie audiences what made him such a renowned Shakespearean actor—his Cassius is full of envy that seems about to boil over any minute. Louis Calhern, a rather hammy villain in other films, is subtly unsympathetic, yet vulnerable as Julius Caesar. The photography is fine and completely unobtrusive—as is the music; director Mankiewicz has filmed the play without resorting to any gimmicks or cheap “Hollywoody” stunts,and the adaptation is so faithful that no one gets on screen credit for it.

Who cares about historical inaccuracies when you can see a great play as well acted as this one?

The assassination of Julius Caesar with all dramatic aspects included
This is a unique play in the Shakespeare production, which uniqueness Joseph L. Mankiewicz has been admirably meticulous about endorsing in sticking more carefully than almost any other Shakespeare film to the original text. The uniqueness of the play is its almost documentary character, in carefully following the biographies of Plutarch and sticking closely to the truth, providing a very onbjective and comprehensive view of the whole drama with many of its polyphonic ingredients, without taking sides, wihout condemning any of the crimes and without any moral message, almost like a news documentary, but in the best and most wonderful of languages, the only factor beautifying the play. Number one among the actors is therefore John Gielgud as Cassius doing complete justice to the marvellous language and its musicality and eloquence, while none of the others fall very much behind, James Mason as Brutus as number two, and even Marlon Brando for once being somewhat articulate. For this film all the best actors ot he time were collected, like Greer Garson and Deborah Kerr, Edmond O’Brien and Louis Calhern, and the music was commissioned by Miklos Rosza, the number one composer for monumental movies. Just to give an example of the meticulous care waged on making this film, as Caesar falls dead by the statue of Pompey, that statue attracts some attention. It is actually two statues. The main statue is not of Pompey but of Sophocles, it is seen in its entirety in another scene of the film, while for the assassination scene they actually fitted the head of Pompey to it. I have never in any other film seen such an operation performed on a statue just for the sake of perfecting the film. Ten years later Joseph L. Mankiewicz made “Cleopatra” with the same story included with equally prominent actors, like Rex Harrison and Richard Burton, while Elizabeth Taylor was not up to the level of Greer Garson and Deborah Kerr. But that’s a different film and a different story.
