This week we are discussing the 1963 film Cleopatra starring Elizabeth Taylor. Coleen asks more questions about fabrics that claim to be real gold, and Larry shares some really good trivia about Elizabeth Taylor and the movie, while Coleen delves into two of the three Oscar winning Costume Designers careers. She even dusted off her Italian skills to research an article. Thanks for listening, and if you do watch this four-hour movie, just know that there's an intermission, and that it was supposed to be eight hours!
