Film on BBC Two tomorrow afternoon includes actors from the "St Trinian" films, "Doctor Dolittle" (1967), the "Mission Impossible" tv series, the original "Planet of the Apes" film series, "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (1969) and the two "Cocoon" films.
"Cleopatra" (1963) massive film in scope and length and, at the time, the most expensive film made. Version being shown is nearly 4 hours long.
I've seen it once. Once was enough for me

One interesting bit of trivia I spotted on the imdb relates to the directors. Rouben Mamoulian started the film but was fired by the producers (or resigned) after a few weeks. Eventually Joseph L Mankiewicz  took over. Before he took over the producers approached Alfred Hitchcock but he refused and made "The Birds" instead. Sensible man
