Plot

Colourful Hammer production tracing the rampant Rasputin's rise to power amongst the Russian Royals. Historically, it's pretty inaccurate, and while Lee looks strangely out of place, he does put in a suitably crazed performance as the bonking Brother. Not a Hammer classic, but good for a laugh.
