| Notes | Novelisation by William Howard (aka William Johnston) of the <a href="/c/books/credit/27391/gore-vidal/">Gore Vidal</a> screenplay for the 1979 film <a href="/c/books/credit/645475/caligula-film/">Caligula</a>.
As Mr. Vidal, director <a href="/c/books/credit/316981/tinto-brass/">Tinto Brass</a> and producer <a href="/c/books/credit/130116/bob-guccione/">Bob Guccione</a> divided among themselves during production, Vidal tried to avoid being connected to the movie as much as possible (credits state "based on a screenplay by" instead of "screenplay by") and even the book appeared only in it's very first editions as "Gore Vidal's Caligula", later just as "Caligula".
