Epic That Never Was Movie Review 1965

A fascinating documentary of the circumstances under which a big-budgeted 1937 adaptation of author Robert Graves' "I, Claudius," filmed by Von Sternberg, was shelved after Oberon's auto accident and director/star disagreements. Features both interviews made 30 years later and much of the existing footage, a testament to its unfulfilled potential as a masterpiece.
