Julius Caesar: An Introduction
- Synopsis
- Part of a series of educational films intended to serve as an introduction to each play’s theme or atmosphere.

Includes extracts from I ii (Caesar, Antony and others in a Roman public place); II i (Brutus in his orchard); III i ('Let us bathe our hands in Caesar’s blood’) and Scene ii (Antony in the Forum); IV iii (Brutus’ tent at Sardis); V iii (Field of battle near Philippi) and Scene 5 (Octavius and Antony at Philippi).
