Elizabeth Taylor's casting in 1963's CLOPATRA caused controversy too, and some people still don't know The Queen of the Nile wasn't Egyptian (so that's a little different).I, too, have heard gushing reviews and ghastly ones. I guess I'd have to go see it, or stream it somewhere. But epics nowadays feel so off-putting.</blockquote>
