Nicholas and Alexandra

Michael Jayston stars as the Czar and Janet Suzman is his wife, the Czarina, in this epic portrayal of the years of corruption, oppression and bloodshed leading up to the Russian Revolution. Born to be one of the world's most powerful men, ruler of millions with an empire that stretched over more than one sixth of the world, Nicholas and his family are doomed to die violently at the hands of his people in revolt. This Academy Award film recreates all the drama, the splendour and, finally, the cold-blooded execution of the royal family. This superb cast includes Laurence Olivier, Jack Hawkins, Harry Andrews, Michael Redgrave and Tom Baker as the mad monk Rasputin. © Horizon Films.
