Caligola Movie Blew It On This One
The film Caligola (that's how it's spelled in this version) w/ Malcolm McDowll from 1979 exploited one opportunity sort of well, but blew a perfect ENF situation on another.
Two are based in historical fact, and both were in this film:
1) Caligula DID exploit his "right" to spend first night with a bride on occasion. (Also remember that there was a LOT of voyeurism in these circumstances, known and unknown. There were countless records of couples being watched during their first sexual union after marriage, often from the curtains or another room. Some couples were themselves just as perverted and accepted it as is. Others tried to hide on their wedding night, and sometimes succeeded, sometimes failed. In the film, he did take his right w/ a virgin on the couple's wedding night, banging her in front of her husband, doggie style. There is a wonderful view of her expression as she looks at her bridegroom now husband while being worked from behind by Caligula. (This scene is spoiled as he then "****s" the groom as well, and we leave the ENF realm.)
2) The biggest let down was the famous moment in his rule, this is true, where, to raise money, he forced the wives of Senators to prositute themselves for the good of the state. Want to f*** that noblewoman you've had your eye on for a couple of years? She had to comply. There's plenty of nudity in the scene, as there is throughout the film. However, the ENF gods were not served by this scene, as the stripping was prefuncteral and not dwelled upon. I suppose that makes sense, as if you're about to become some creep's sex toy who you'll have to see face to face for the rest of your life, the last thing you're probably thinking of is that you're going to have to be nude in front of him.
