Your Honour, I Object!

Arena presents its first authentic courtroom drama, featuring, in the prosecution corner, Bob 'Penthouse' Guccione versus Britain's Ken Russell - a case in which justice must not only be done, but must be seen to be believed. Guccione hired Russell to direct a film version of Daniel Defoe's picaresque classic 'Moll Flanders' in the same vein as his infamous 'Caligula'. Before too long ego clashed with ego over the contents of the script - and Guccione sued Russell for breach of contract. Arena brings you all the tension and cross-court fire of one of the most outrageous trials of the century.
