The epic that never was

In 1937, the British film industry geared up for what was to be the most ambitious film ever made in Great Britain. It was to be Sir Alexander Korda's production of Robert Graves' monumental work about the Roman Empire, "I, Claudius." Shooting began and was abandoned. Using clips from the film and interviews with several of its stars, this documentary examines why the film was never completed and what really happened.
