Nicholas and Alexandra
(1971)
Based on the book of
the same name this film is directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, it
features Michael Jayston, Janet Suzman and an all star supporting
cast. We follow the last Tsar of Russia and his family from the birth
of the Tsar's son to the families execution.
As with any historical
film there are some minor deviations from fact but the film largely
sticks to what really happened, especially in terms of the major
events. The production quality of the film is excellent mixing great
locations with impressive sets in what is clearly an epic
undertaking. There are some great performances from a host of British
actors in supporting roles as well as that of those in the main
roles.
5/5
