He was also so touchy about his bald spot that if he saw anyone standing on higher ground than him, looking down on it, they were sentenced to death. He was similarly sensitive about his excessive body hair and declared that if anybody ever mentioned goats in his presence, whatever the context, they too would die. Yet for his insane levels of depravity, Caligula surely ranks as the 'GOAT' (greatest of all time) - a term we can safely use since the emperor's assassination in 41AD aged just 28. It comes as no great surprise, therefore, that the 1979 biopic Caligula, starring Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, John Gielgud and Peter O'Toole - produced and bankrolled by Bob Guccione, the American founder of the soft-porn magazine Penthouse - remains perhaps the most controversial and notorious movie ever made.
