1963’s Cleopatra was a triumph at the box office, topping the charts for that year, but the four-hour epic still managed to be a complete financial fail. The film, which starred Elizabeth Taylor in the titular role, along with Richard Burton as Mark Antony and Rex Harrison as Julius Caesar, was steeped in controversy during its years of development. It seemed like everything that could go wrong did, and each mistake and scandal made the bill climb ever higher. By the time Cleopatra was released in 1963, it had quadrupled its budget, making it virtually impossible for the box office to make up for it.
