"Julius Caesar" (1953)

Shakespeare. Excellent as always. Compared to earlier black and whites, the ghost shows some of the advances (or preservation) in film detail/clarity in special effects. Also, the movie also improves on just script reading when it comes to fight scenes (obviously) since you can see what's going on in the film. Miklos Rosza music--first entrance scene flashes back to 30s spectacle films (but film doesn't dwell there) and Romantic-style music (what else ya gonna do?).
