Jason Robards makes a decent fist of Brutus as does Diana Rigg (Portia) but Richard Chamberlain (Octavius), Robert Vaughn (Casca) and Richard Johnson (Cassius) really fall well short of the mark with their over-dramatised emphasis on the language and the gestures. The costumes and photography in general look fine, but somehow that seems to add to this effort's problems - it lacks the intensity and intimacy of a stage performance. Indeed, I wonder if the same cast were to have done this in a theatre, might it not have been more distinguished? It is certainly worth a watch, there is a suitably rousing score from Michael J. Lewis, but I think the end product is not equal to the sum of it's parts.
