Release of Cleopatra with Taylor and Burton

June 12th, 1963 61 years ago

Cleopatra, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, premiered in U.S. theaters. Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, it became renowned for its extensive production costs, totaling around $44 million, making it the most expensive film made at that time. Taylor's portrayal of the Egyptian queen garnered significant attention, leading to substantial audience interest and media coverage, partially due to the off-screen romance between the lead actors.
