Caligula
- ISBN13: 0014381416022
- Condition: NEW
- Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.
Description
Before Rome. Before Gladiator. The most controversial film of all time as you’ve never experienced it before! Combining lavish spectacle and top award-winning stars, this landmark production was shrouded in secrecy since its first day of filming. Now, this unprecedented special edition presents a bolder and more revealing Caligula than ever before, with a beautiful new high-definition transfer from recently uncovered negative elements and hours of never-before-seen bonus material! From the moment he ascends to the throne as Emperor, Caligula enforces a reign like no other as power and corruption transform him into a deranged beast whose deeds still live on as some of the most depraved in history.
Malcolm McDowell (NBC’s top-rated Heroes, Rob Zombie’s Halloween, A Clockwork Orange, Time After Time, If…, Cat People and O Lucky Man), Helen Mirren: 2007 Academy Award & Golden Globe Winner for The Queen; 2007 Emmy & Golden Globe winner for HBO’s Elizabeth I; star of hit TV series Prime Suspect and films including National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Calendar Girls, Excalibur, The Mosquito Coast, and The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover), Peter O’Toole (Lawrence of Arabia, The Lion in Winter, The Ruling Class, My Favorite Year, Venus, The Stunt Man), John Gielgud (Gandhi, The Elephant Man, Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet, Alfred Hitchcock’s Secret Agent, and Academy Award-winning role in Arthur).
Supporting cast includes a wide array of European cult actors including Teresa Ann Savoy (Salon Kitty), John Steiner (Mario Bava’s Shock), Leopoldo Trieste (Cinema Paradiso), Mirella D’Angelo (Tenebrae), Paolo Bonacelli (Mission: Impossible III) and Adriana Asti (The Best of Youth).Amazon.com
Remember the dumbstruck, jaw-dropped expressions on “Springtime for Hitler’s” shocked opening-night audience in Mel Brooks’s original film of The Producers? That will no doubt be your face through much of the two-and-a-half-hour running time of this infamous 1979 pornographic epic that was a (Penthouse) pet project of publisher Bob Guccione. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. But don’t take our word for it. Listen to Helen Mirren–yes, the Oscar-winning Queen herself–who stars as Caesonia, Caligula’s third wife and “the most promiscuous woman in Rome” (and in this film’s salacious vision of Pagan Rome, that is saying something). In her very gracious, thoughtful and candid audio commentary that alone is worth the price of this set, she remarks, “I think it’s a movie that is unlike any other, which is difficult to achieve.” And for those of a more prurient bent, she adds, “It has an awful lot of bottoms.” Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) gives a brave and fearless performance as Caligula, the hated and feared emperor corrupted by absolute power and no doubt voted Most Likely to Be Assassinated. The film unflinchingly charts his plummet into madness and the brutality of his reign in scenes of hardcore sex and violence that cannot be described here (“I can’t watch,” Mirren cries to her interviewers over one scene in which unfortunate characters are beheaded by a blade-spinning combine. “I can’t even listen to it”).
Caligula is also a career curiosity for author Gore Vidal, who wrote the original screenplay, but later demanded his name be removed from the credits, and venerable actors Peter O’Toole, appearing briefly as the syphilitic Emperor Tiberius Caesar, and John Gielgud as Nerva, a Senator who’d rather take his own life than “live with this reptile.” This controversial film’s tortured history is untangled in a very helpful booklet that is packaged along with this set’s three discs. One is hard-pressed to think of a more reviled film graced with such a gala presentation, but Caligula‘s defenders and the curious will be amply rewarded with both the original uncut theatrical version of the film and a re-edited alternate version. Supplementary material includes an hour of deleted footage, a pretentious “making of” documentary made during the film’s production and a new interview with director Tinto Brass, whose softcore tendencies clashed with Guccioni’s more extreme vision (Brass did not have final cut, allowing Guccione to insert more explicit footage into the film). McDowell contributes his own lively audio commentary. “God help us,” he groans as the film begins, but by its bloody conclusion, he proclaims he has “no regrets at all” about making the film. Caligula, Mirren maintains, is “an irresistible mix of art and genitals.” And you’ve got to hand it to Guccione. Especially in these politically correct times, it is still strong and scandalous stuff. –Donald Liebenson

Masada – The Complete Miniseries
Amazon.com essential video
This 1981 television miniseries, based on Ernest K. Gann’s historical novel The Antagonists, is a dramatization of a documented revolt by nearly a thousand Jerusalem Jews against Roman oppressors in A.D. 72 to 73. Following a city-wide siege by Rome’s soldiers, Jewish Zealots move into a fortress in the mountains of Masada, from which they present a defense strong enough to convince the enemy to negotiate. Peter O’Toole, in all his golden dignity, plays Cornelius Flavius Silva, commander of the Roman legions, and Peter Strauss is Zealot leader Eleazar ben Yair. Both are outstanding as representatives from each side trying, in good faith, to find a way out of the deadlocked situation. Unfortunately, neither realizes that Rome has no intention of yielding, resulting in one of the greatest tragedies in Jewish history. A strong cast of character actors–David Warner, Barbara Carrera, Timothy West, and Anthony Quayle–is rewardingly watchable, the action and sets are persuasive without overwhelming the story’s human dimension, and direction by Boris Sagal (The Omega Man) is crisp and enthralling. This was a pleasure to watch when it was first broadcast, and it holds up very well today. –Tom KeoghAmazon.com
“A victory? What have we won?” laments a breathtaking Peter O’Toole as the Roman warrior Flavius Silva. “We’ve won a rock in the middle of a wasteland, on the shores of a poisoned sea.” Thus does Masada, the epic 1981 miniseries about a horrific battle in ancient Palestine, echo the terrible toll of war in general, and of the brutal conflicts in today’s Middle East in particular. Masada, from the golden age of miniseries (Roots, Shogun), is a transportive viewing event–shot on location, and apparently no expense spared.
The film retells (with some dramatic license) the true story of an uprising in Palestine of a ragtag band of Jews, in a fortress called Masada, who refuse to surrender to the governing Romans. O’Toole, as Flavius Silva, is the brilliant commander who, over the course of several years of trying, and failing, to breach Masada, comes to regard the leader of his foes, Eleazar ben Yair (the charismatic Peter Strauss), with a certain amount of respect and awe. If left to Flavius, he might have simply leave the holdout fortress and return to the Italy he so longs for; but the Roman emperor demands victory–at any cost.
The performances are uniformly crisp and believable; the direction by Boris Sagal, economical; the screenplay, sharp and incisive. David Warner, who won an Emmy for his performance, plays the brutal Roman henchman Falco with seething determination. The location shooting is nothing short of spectacular. There is sorrow in the story of Masada, but an uplifting message in the ability of true believers to create their own destiny. –A.T. Hurley

With Lawrence In Arabia
Product Description
(The books I publish are always proof read and corrected before publishing on Kindle! David Snode)
This is the original story of Lawrence of Arabia, written by the man who travelled with him, became his friend, learned his story, then told it worldwide, making Lawrence famous. Following are excerpts from the forward. Many illustrations are included in the book.
During the time that Mr. Chase and I were in Arabia, I found it impossible to extract much information from Lawrence himself regarding his own achievements. He insisted on giving the entire credit to Emir Feisal and other Arab leaders, and to his fellow adventurers, Colonel Wilson, of the Sudan, Newcombe, Joyce, Dawnay, Bassett, Vickery, Cornwallis, Hogarth, Stirling, etc., all of whom did magnificent work in Arabia. So to them I went for much of my material, and I am indebted to various members of this group of brilliant men whom General Clayton used in his Near Eastern Secret Corps. Eager to tell me of the achievements of their quiet scholarly companion, they refused to say much about themselves, although their own deeds rivaled those of the heroes of ” The Arabian Nights.”
Unhappily, no matter how much unselfish work a man does for his country, and no matter how modest he is, there are always people hovering about on the side lines ready to tear his record to pieces. For instance, there are those who say that Lawrence has received
altogether too much ” publicity ” through me. They piously declare that this is not in accordance with military ethics. There may be something in this, though I doubt it. But if there is, the blame should all be mine.
There is no question but what the praise I have given him has embarrassed him exceedingly. Indeed, had he realised when I was in Arabia that I one day would be going up and down the world shouting his praises, I have not the slightest doubt but what he would have planted one of his nitro-glycerine ” tulips ” under me instead of under a Turkish train !
Another ” bazaar rumour ” that has been going the rounds is to the effect that Colonel Lawrence has renounced Christianity and turned Mohammedan. This also is the offspring of some feverish imagination ! From what I saw of Lawrence I rather believe that he is a better Christian than the most of us. In his introduction to a new edition of Doughty ‘s classic, ” Arabia Deserta,” he says of that great Arabian traveller : “He was book-
learned, but simple in the arts of living, trustful of every man, very silent. He was the first Englishman they had met. He predisposed them to give a chance to other men of his race, because they found him honourable and good. So he broke a road for his religion. They say that he seemed proud only of being Christian, and yet never crossed their faith.” The tribute he pays to Doughty might be applied equally appropriately to himself.
