I, Claudius

1937 · 31 min

A fragmentary, stately glimpse of imperial intrigue, heavy with portent and never resolving, like a half-remembered dream of ancient Rome.

Overview
An unfinished 1937 film adaptation of life and times of the Roman Emperor, Claudius. The production was dogged by adverse circumstances, culminating in a car accident involving co-star Merle Oberon that caused filming to cease before completion.
