The Projection Booth: Episode 178: Caligula
Special Guests: Ranjit Sandhu & Alexander Tuschinski
Guest Co-Host: Maitland McDonagh
We begin "Roman Month" with the 1979 film Caligula is a biopic about one of the most-wicked rulers of Rome. It was directed by Tinto Brass until he took his name off it. It was written by Gore Vidal until he took his name of it. And, it was proudly produced by Bob Guccione of Penthouse magazine who didn't take his name off it. Caligula tells the tale of Little Boots and his anarchistic rule over Rome between 37-41 AD. Malcolm McDowell plays the title role and the film features well-known and respected British actors Sir John Gielgud, Sir Peter O'Toole and Helen Mirren to name a few along with a swath of Penthouse Pets.
Over 35 years later, Caligula is still as notorious for what's on screen as what went on behind the scenes.
