#Bales2023FilmChallenge August 26: a movie that goes the extra mile for #NationalSparkTheWorldDay

Like Rome, #Cleopatra (1963) wasn't built in a day. #JosephLMankiewicz's epic studio breaker took six years to make and, despite it being the highest-grossing film of 1963, didn't break even until 1973. Was it a #flop? A classic flop but a flop nevertheless? 𓃦 https://write.underworld.fr/settima/cleopatra-1963
