Time Out says
A mess, as you might expect from the disastrous series of stoppages and personnel changes that dogged production. Mankiewicz does his best with a script worked on by so many writers that it never hits any recognisable tone, but the effect is of acres of dreary spectacle (lacking even DeMille's amusing vulgarity) gradually swamping the cast. Harrison, doing his waspish don act as Caesar, alone rises above mediocrity.Author: GA
