Two Nights with Cleopatra (1954): Sophia Loren

Two Nights with Cleopatra. 1954. Sophia Loren

     Directed by Mario Mattioli, Two Nights with Cleopatra (1954) was aimed at showcasing the radiant beauty and star power of Sophia Loren. The comedy focuses on Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, who sneaks out to visit Mark Antony while leaving a decoy in her place at the palace. Sophia Loren is wonderful in dual roles as Cleopatra and as the slave girl tasked with impersonating her. Alberto Sordi provides comedic elements as the guard who falls in love with Cleopatra's decoy.

     Directed by Cecil B. DeMille, Cleopatra (1934) was an epic in it's time was nominated for five Academy Awards. Set in Ancient Egypt, the film stars Claudette Colbert as Queen Cleopatra and centers on her love affairs and manipulation of both Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Claudette Colbert is stunning in her role and the wardrobe department did a wonderful job creating 20th Century designs of ancient fashion, albeit historically inaccurate. A great production all around.
