Marlon Brando
and
Elizabeth Taylor
were criticized in the mass media in 1963 for what was perceived as their part in causing the budgets of their epic films ("Mutiny on the Bounty" and
Cleopatra
) to balloon out of control. Aside from their paychecks ($1.25 million for Brando, with overages; a minimum of $1 million to Taylor, both record salaries for the time), the press claimed it was prima donna behavior on the part of the two stars that caused the resulting fiscal hardships at their respective studios, M.G.M. and 20th-Century Fox. The truth is, although both films were costly, and neither made a profit, "Cleopatra" cost more than twice what "Bounty" did (Taylors film cost $44 million approximately $270 million in 2006 dollars, making it the most expensive film ever made, when adjusted for inflation), and earned the studio only $26 million in rentals, generating a shortfall against budget of $18 million versus less than $10 million for the Brando picture. While M.G.M. was hurt financially, "Cleopatra" caused Fox to fail. In his defense, Brando later pointed out that M.G.M. charged the $500,000 paid in the mid-1930s to the books two authors to the budget of the remake, an example of creative accounting that makes Hollywood profit-and-loss statements highly suspect. Whatever the truth, the fact is that Brandos star went into decline after "Bounty" whereas Taylor went on to win a second Oscar and remained among the highest paid movie stars in the world throughout the decade of the 1960s.
