"I have existed from the morning of the world, and am constant as the Northern Star...oh bugger, wrong Gaius Julius Caesar!"
Having just watched a video review of the infamous 1976 production, Caligula by Vidal, Brass and Guccione, I can kind of see how and why it lives up to the reputation that it does, and much of its incoherence seems to have arisen from the multiple changing hands it went through. It's kind of a shame that those talented performers and massive sets essentially went into such an unpleasant piece of work.
With a PoD of Gore Vidal finishing his script, have Caligula go through a different production and post-production such that at the very least Roger Ebert manages to sit through the entire thing.
