She was at her most beautiful in A Place In The Sun. Cleopatra is just kind of boring. (The 30's Cleopatra with Claudette Colbert is 10x better.) After this she went more for crazy/trashy roles -- see Boom for trashy or Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf for great acting/crazy. Suddenly, Last Summer for both.
Butterfield 8 was pretty good.
I'd recommend the HBO series Rome before this movie.
It took three days six hours and twenty two minutes from the activation of the "Classic Sexy" tag to someone becoming a giant one-starring douchewad about it.
While interesting, it does not nearly surpass the current record of eight hours, ten minutes, set last year by "For the Haters Week."
