The Plot Thickens returns for a new season today - its wildest season yet, we're told. Cleopatra was the movie that broke Hollywood, and the true story of its production is like a juicy summer beach listen. Elizabeth Taylor, 27 years old and on her fourth husband - meets a smoldering Welshman who seduces her into a salacious affair that dominated the headlines. It fell to the director, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, to somehow wrest an epic out of chaos while staying one step ahead of financial disaster and his own failing health.
