"Caligula - the Ultimate Cut" showed at Cannes. The original director is still pissed.

I worked in a theater, I'm not making this up, where we showed the original Penthouse Films version of Caligula for well over a YEAR!
the words "Caligula at Cannes" put me in an absolute state of disbelief. |

So does "The Ultimate Cut" include Guccione's porno inserts or no?

Sir John Gielgud, for one, thought Guccione's version was bitchen!

Splendid impersonation!
Sir John’s big scene is pretty good.
Malcom told Gilbert Gottfried he was looking into doing a “making of” documentary about it. I’m up for that!

I might give this a look . I have fond memories of Malcom, Peter O'Toole and Helen Mirren's YOBBOS!
you'd think they'd have wanted the original director's blessing but I guess not. restoring the performances seems to have been the intention.
