Rasputin and the Empress(Rasputin the Mad Monk -- UK)
US (1932): Drama/History
This is a reasonably decent movie, well acted (particularly by Lionel, who practically chews the scenery as Rasputin) and the sets and costumes are fairly nice. But the main selling point is that this is the only time the three Barrymores -- Ethel (as Czarina Alexandra), John (as Prince Paul Chegodiff) and Lionel (as Grigori Rasputin) -- did a movie together. It's a good movie but could have been much better. (IMDb)
