Just remember when socially distancing yourself…

Speaking of social distancing, I happened to catch a few minutes of 1963's Cleopatra last week on TCM, just as Antony boards her impossibly opulent and expansive barge for the Feast Of Bacchus. Cleo gives him a welcome that's physically lavish but personally frosty, and as they seat themselves for dining and entertainment, they present a picture of "social distancing" that looks suddenly all too contemporary.
