The role of Caesar was originally offered to Sir John Gielgud, who turned it down, because he detested Director Gabriel Pascal.
Gabriel Pascal went to Egypt to collect sand to get the right color.
Amongst Director Gabriel Pascal's extravagances, was building his own sphinx, and having it hauled out into the desert. Executive Producer J. Arthur Rank allowed it because he hoped the movie's success would allow him to make additional historical movies. However, it was a box-office failure upon release and caused the J. Arthur Rank Organisation to scrub Pascal's next project, "The Snow Goose", with a loss of thirty thousand U.S. dollars or seven thousand five hundred pounds sterling.
This movie was shot during World War II, which resulted in production being halted repeatedly, due to German bombing raids. The war also hampered the production's ability to get necessary materials, so the crew had to do the best they could with what they had.
Vivien Leigh found that she was pregnant with Sir Laurence Olivier's child during filming. There was a very energetic scene in which Leigh had to slide across the floor and run up the stairs. Upon doing this, she slipped and suffered a miscarriage. This triggered a mental breakdown in Leigh.
"Julius Caesar: And so to the end of history, murder shall breed murder, always in the name of right, and justice, and peace, until the gods create a race of men that can understand."
"Julius Caesar: Go, Ptolemy. Always take a throne when it is offered to you."
