Cleopatra shines in TV version but Shakespearean epic drags
United Press International critic Frank Sweatlow praises Janet Suzman as Cleopatra and the opening hour of ABC's Antony and Cleopatra for its poetry and cinematography while faulting the Royal Shakespeare Company stage version for rambling length and weak Antony Richard Johnson. The production uses minimal sets with clever lighting to evoke Egypt and Rome, contrasting with Elizabeth Taylor's lavish portrayals.
