So, if you fancy a bawdy, comedy version of Cleopatra, you have a fourth option. You can see the trailer here. |
I grew up in England and Carry On Cleo is always showing on British TV. It's one of the better Carry On movies and definitely worth watching if you can find it streaming somewhere. My "Just Watch" app says that, unfortunately, it's not available to stream at the moment.
