Review of Nicholas and Alexandra (1971) by Sanity Assassin ! — 05 Apr 2008

G. killing them. anyhow, refreshing to see a film about a subject I didn't know much about. I liked tom baker as rasputin the priest. he's always fun to watch. no blue phone box in sight though.

franklin j. schaffer most notably also directed "patton" amongst some other good films... so you can get the gist of the kind of good storytelling you're gonna get.
