A spectacle that aptly deals with the decadence of ancient Rome. Mexican actress Felix portrays the lusty Messaline with vigorous sensuality as she leaves her husband, the Emperor Augustus, to search for perfect love. The search takes her into the streets as a prostitute. Directed by
Carmine Gallone, a prolific director from the silent days whose best work can be seen in his musicals.
