Cleopatra is a 1912 American silent historical drama starring Helen Gardner in the title role and directed by Charles L. Gaskill. It is the first film to be produced by Gardner’s production company, The Helen Gardner Picture Players. The film was based on an 1890 play written by Victorien Sardou. Cleopatra is one of the first six-reel feature films produced in the United States. Promoted with the tagline «The most beautiful motion picture ever made», the film was the first to offer a feature-length depiction of Cleopatra, although there had been a short film about Antony and Cleopatra earlier. Synopsis ⬎ In a series of elaborately staged tableaux, it depicts Cleopatra and her love affairs, first with handsome fisherman-slave Pharon, then with Mark Antony.
