IMDB NEWSNew Edition of Controversial 'Caligula' To Be Released
Caligula, the 1976 film that featured such respected actors at Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole, Helen Mirren, and the late John Gielgud -- all of whom were blindsided when producer Bob Guccioni of Penthouse magazine fame cut x-rated scenes into the movie -- is due to be released on DVD as the "Four-Disc Imperial Edition" by Image Entertainment on October 2nd, the distributor announced Tuesday. The film has previously been released in versions that were as short as 98 minutes and as long as three hours. In a statement, the company said that the DVD set will include newly recorded, no-holds-barred commentary tracks by McDowell and Mirren. In addition, the set includes two versions of The Making of Caligula, one of which includes deleted and alternate scenes.
Let me hazard a few guesses:
A. DR Barnum has never heard of it.
B. DR Ginny's library won't stock it
C. It will fail to make DR Jane's Netflix list
D. DR MATTH will have an essay on skin-tone transfers
E. HHW Spoiler-Alert policy may need revisiting
F. DR JMK will know of a Brazilain Jazz version of the soundtrack
G. DR Elmore will insist on a VCR version
