Page "Caligula" Paragraph 97

A feature-length historical film Caligula was completed in 1979, in which Malcolm McDowell played the lead role.

The film alienated audiences with extremely explicit sex and violence and received extremely negative reviews.

Emlyn Williams was cast as Caligula in the never-completed 1937 film I, Claudius, and Courtney Love appeared as Caligula in a fake trailer for Gore Vidal's Caligula, ostensibly a remake of the 1979 film, but actually a parodic short film by conceptual artist Francesco Vezzoli.
