Miscast Hall of Shame : Cleopatra

Except for Richard Burton as Mark Anthony the cast for CLEOPATRA was terrible. Harrison portrayed Caesar as an English school principle. Elizabeth Taylor as Cleo was and is still painfully miscast. The supporting actors were all over the place, including Martin Landau and Carroll O'Connor, both sounded totally at odds with the rest of the mostly English cast.
