Mark Antony's Speech

Listening to "The History Show" on FM106-108 a while back I came across an exert from this speech by Marlon Brando and if you can beat this you're doing well. The film is from 1953 and it is Brando at his very best. It is also included in "Speeches that changed the world" ( Bounty Books 2006) and from that source while they credit good ole Will Shakespeare they also acknowledge the writings of Dion Cassius and Plutarch. Anyway, just sit back and enjoy! With thanks to youtube and "Pochido" who posted it
