A reputedly faithful cinematic depiction of the historical events of Caligula's Rome, including the decadence and debauchery that marked his reign. This notorious release has faced rather hysterical hostility from would-be censors. Financed by Penthouse Magazine magnate Bob Guccione, who was accused of inserting hardcore sex scenes after completing photography with the impressive and esteemed cast of British actors. Features three different versions of the film; the full uncut version, UK theatrical version, and the alternative version, which replaces much of the more sexually explicit scenes with alternative scenes and camera angles. Contains graphic sex and violence.
