The story of Rome's most infamous Caesar, Gaius Germanicus Caligula.
From memory: messy and nasty big-budget exploitation sword-and-sandal epic is quite disagreeable entertainment, but interesting for its audacity and the amount of first-rate stars that risked their reputation by participating.
Halliwell (no star): "What would have been a dull and worthless pseudo-epic has been perked up by violence and hardcore sex. The result is a vile curiosity of interest chiefly to sado-masochists."
Maltin*1/2: "Chutzpah and 6m.of not-bad hard-core footage earn this half a star for the faithful, but most viewers will be rightfully repelled."
