Despite popular beliefs,
Gore Vidal
and
Tinto Brass
did not disown this film because
Bob Guccione
inserted hardcore sex and graphic violence sequences and changed the point of the film. In reality, only five or six minutes of the 156-minute version of the film was part of Gucciones reshoot - that five or six minutes consists of the lesbian tryst in the secret room, and several inserts in the imperial bordello scene. Everything else was shot by Brass. Vidal disowned the film because Brass and lead actor
Malcolm McDowell
changed the point of view of his screenplay. Brass disowned it because Guccione locked him out of the editing room (some in the industry suspect it was because Brass didnt want to use Gucciones hardcore inserts) after assembling the first 40 minutes (which was probably disassembled shortly afterward). Guccione then proceeded to edit the film himself, but he often chose shots that were never meant to be included (the many zooms, out-of-focus shots, etc.), and also cut up certain scenes and put them in the wrong order. A prime example of this is Caligulas nightmare scene with Drusilla, which now occurs in a part of the film that would have been quite impossible dramatically, and is actually the first half of an earlier scene, which occurs just after the credits (together, the two scenes were meant to be the opening of the film, and the current opening in which Caligula and Drusilla enjoy a romp through a forest was intended for an entirely different purpose altogether, and was meant to occur much later).
c.
Director
Michael Winner
was anxious before production because he was waiting for
Charles Bronson
to tell him he wanted
Jill Ireland
to play his wife in the movie, despite Winners feeling she was unsuitable for the part. Finally he said to Bronson, "Charlie, do you want Jill to play your wife in Death Wish?" Bronson replied, "No. I dont want her humiliated and messed around by these actors who play muggers. You know the sort of person we want? Someone who looks like
Hope Lange
." Lange was an attractive, blonde, all-American "girl next door" type who had starred in the TV series
The Ghost & Mrs. Muir
and
The New Dick Van Dyke Show
. Winner said, "Well, Charlie, the person who looks most like
Hope Lange
is
Hope Lange
. So Ill get her." And he did.
