Sir Michael Hordern (Cicero) described the filming of the nine-minute sequence where Cleopatra enters Rome in his 1993 autobiography. He remembers that the doves that were supposed to fly out of the miniature pyramid when it opened had grown very drowsy in the Roman heat and remained inside, so a crew member had to hide inside to shoo them out at the right moment, not a pleasant job as the birds defecated liberally.
