On May 21 , 2013 , the restored film was shown at a special screening at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival , to commemorate its 50th anniversary . It was later released as a 50th-anniversary version available on DVD and Blu-ray . Unfortunately Fox had long ago destroyed all of the trims and outs from negatives to save costs , preventing the release of traditional outtakes . The home media packages did include commentary tracks and two short films : " The Cleopatra Papers " and a 1963 film about the elaborate sets " The Fourth Star of Cleopatra "
