Quotes

Wasn't worth it was it? I could have told you that!
- Tiberius
Uncle Claudius, I wasn't the Messiah after all, would you believe that? Could have knocked me over with a feather then they told me that.
- Caligula

Trivia

Charles Laughton, despite giving a splendid performance, had a great deal of difficulty getting into the role, and director Von Sternberg was not very sympathetic or helpful. So when co-star Merle Oberon was injured in a car crash during filming, he used it as an excuse to abandon the film, which was nowhere near completion. All the filmed footage survives, however.
