Antony and Cleopatra is a 1908 film directed by J. Stuart Blackton and Charles Kent and starring Maurice Costello and Florence Lawrence in the title roles, based on William Shakespeare's play of the same name.[1] It was the first film to dramatize the ill-fated romance between Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII of Egypt.[2] An earlier film by Méliès did depict Cleopatra, but on her own.[3]
