Mark Antony’s eulogy of Julius Caesar. Everyone has heard the first few words. They’re in my title. But have you ever watched a dramatization? Many years ago I saw a small production in the Berkshires. And in its bare bones presentation; no fancy costumes or sets, it was well done. But I do not remember Antony’s speech impressing me.
Here are three versions. Two are Hollywood spectacles. One with Marlon Brando and one with Charlton Heston. The third is a solo recitation. See if you can guess which one I favor. And I’ll give those who care to watch them a chance to provide their own judgement on which is best. Lend me your ears.

Damian Lewis, obviously. Beautifully done.
Yes I agree. His delivery and facial expression was impressive. Even though I’m far from a fan of his I’d put Brando second.
