What started this one? Could it be that Tinto Brass' Caligola was announced two years before its completion? Possibly... Two films premiered in August 1977: The Hot Nights of Caligula by Roberto Montero Bianchi and Messalina, Messalina by Bruno Corbucci. Unfortunately both still elude me, but I understand that both exist with hardcore inserts. Subsequent genre contributions are usually made by our favourite sleaze maestros: Aristide Massaccesi (Caligula - The Untold Story, 1982 as David Hills and Messalina, orgasmo imperiale, 1983 as Oliver J. Clarke), Bruno Mattei (Nerone e Poppea, 1981 as Vincent Dawn and Caligula and Messalina, 1982 as supervisor) and Rino Di Silvestro (The Erotic Dreams of Cleopatra, 1983 as Cesar Todd). A less sleazy contribution, Ars amandi, was made in 1984 by Walerian Borowczyk, but even this one is supposed to exist with hardcore inserts.
