Nicholas And Alexandra ( 1971, U.K. )

Based on the book of the same name by Robert K. Massie, an historical biographical film about the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas and his relationship with Alexandra.  Stars Laurence Olivier, Janet Suzman, Tom Baker as Rasputin, Michael Redgrave, Brian Cox and Jack Hawkins.

A fascinating look at the last, tragic Russian monarchs; the kindly, indecisive Czar Nicholas and his reclusive, fear-haunted Czarina. The story follows their problems from the onset through the introduction of Rasputin to the Russian Court, to the Czar’s abdication and the family’s execution at Ekaterinburg on July 16, 1918.
