Claiming to be one of the most expensive gay films of its time (nearly $100,000 to produce), this Hand-in-Hand film is famous for reportedly having been financed from a 1980 theft by a Brink's security guard of almost two million dollars. Lloyd's of London, an insurer of Brinks, thus became one of the co-owners of the film on a technicality. And yes, we know Centurians is misspelled...that's how Hand-in-Hand named it, so we kept it! The ambitious story and blockbuster epic production stars George Payne (Demetrius) and Scorpio (Octavius) as Roman countrymen sold into slavery for not paying their taxes during Caligula's reign as Emperor. Immense scripting, acting, set design, direction, and superior efforts were all combined to make this one of the most sought-after films of all time.
