Julius Caesar
Thursday, October 2, 2014 7:00 PM
(David Bradley, 1950, US, 35mm, 106 min.)
Not to be confused with M-G-M 's 1953 megaproduction, film collector and Chicago native David Bradley's Julius Caesar was the first feature adaptation of Shakespeare’s play and Bradley's second collaboration with then relatively unknown Charlton Heston (Mark Antony). Shot on 16mm with post-synchronized sound recorded primarily in an Evanston swimming pool, Caesar is a rich marriage of low-budget student productions (much of the cast was recruited from Northwestern's theater department) and independent small gauge filmmaking, elevated by beautiful location photography at Chicago's Museum Campus and the Indiana Sand Dunes.
Co-presented with and introduced by the Northwest Chicago Film Society
