CALIGULA/IO, CALIGOLA (1980)

Directed by Tinto Brass, Bob Guccione, starring Malcom McDowell, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud, Helen Mirren, John Steiner. Interesting failure, but despite reputation, don't expect tons of hardcore sex. Oh well, fastforward 76m into the film and you'll get a nice lesbian scene, but that's about it!
