Review of Rasputin: The Mad Monk (1966) by Allan C — 11 Nov 2016
Goofy and not especially historically accurate, Christopher Lee chews up the scenery in this film about the titular monk and his rise to power within the Romanov dynasty. There's not a lot of especially interesting royal court intrigue or especially interesting of supporting characters, but Lee's crazy eyes and wild performance as Rasputin make this film more than worth checking out.
Lee really does carry the day here on this one.
