Female Cast in Julius Ceasar

The film Julius Ceasar is a film adaption of Shakespeare’s play based on the real-life story of betrayal and power struggle in ancient Rome. This 1953 epic film received critical acclaim for its attention to detail and realism, but there are a few elements that don’t line up with the time period. The most obvious example is the wardrobe of the female cast members. While their outfits line up with the time period, their undergarments do not. The female cast can be seen wearing bullet bras, which were iconic in the 1950s when this movie was filmed. However, they definitely didn’t exist back in ancient Rome!
