Cleopatra (1963 film) the only film ever to be the highest-grossing film of the year to run at a loss. It received nine nominations at the 36th Academy Awards including for Best Picture and won the highest four : Best Production Design (Color), Best Cinematography (Color), Best Visual Effects and Best Costume Design (Color). After the Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BC, Julius Caesar (Rex Harrison) goes to Egypt, under the pretext of being named the executor of the will of the young Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII (Richard O'Sullivan) and his sister Cleopatra (Elizabeth Taylor)'s father. Cleopatra convinces Caesar to restore her throne from
Gaius Julius Caesar brother of the Sextus Julius Caesar who was consul in 157, and the great-grandfather of the dictator. This is how Drumann regarded the dictator's most likely descent. If his brother was the Sextus Julius Caesar who was consul in 157 BC, then he would be the son of Sextus Julius Caesar, the praetor in 208 BC. The grandfather of the dictator is relatively unknown; he might have been the same Julius Caesar who died while "praetor urbanus". Nothing is known of the career of Gaius Julius Caesar, except that he can possibly be identified with a praetor who died suddenly
