Title: Fun historical drama
Review: Well, I think most people realize to take the "history" of this drama with a grain of salt. Enough said on that.As a drama, this is simply fantastic. Many standout performances. I've always been a huge Malcolm McDowell fan and loved his portrayal of the title character in Caligula. However, I forgot all about that performance in light of John Hurt's take on the same character. For the rest of my years I will never forget his dance in drag.I was quite fascinated by the documentary of the never released Hollywood version of this. What was most interesting was seeing Charles Laughton in action as Claudius. As great as Derek Jacobi was in his role, I have to say that the definitive take on Claudius would certainly have gone to Laughton had this movie version ever been released. Remarkable.At any rate, if you've never seen this, check it out. You won't be disappointed.
