Finally found a copy on You tube with English subs and a copy considerably better in the one I had. Polidoro includes much of what was in the novel by Petronius if somewhat juggled fashion but seems to have a problem with the central fictional narrative (as opposed to the observations on Roman life included in the novel) detailing extremely salacious doings of its heroes Encolpio and his slave boy Giton which carry the narrative along. Giton is a randy character ready for any sexual adventure while his master has been cursed by the god of fertility and is impotent insuring he will never consummate his love of the boy . Polidoro seems to have found this too hot to handle and has Giton masquerading as a girl whom Encolpio treats as a sister. If so it didn't prevent the watchdogs of Italian morality that jailed some of the cast and fined Polidoro for corruption of minors as the boy that played Giton was under age. Noteworthy is a jaunty score that includes a boy's choir.
