Review of The Scarlet Empress (1934) by Jess L — 10 Jun 2009
This is a beautifully filmed movie and is so bizarre at times you have to wonder how an audience in 1934 would have taken it. There are various elements of campy humour, right down to the creepy portrayal of the Grand Duke Peter, that catch you off guard but are delightful to watch.
Along with the amazing set design this is an extraordinary film and one that I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did.
