Bucky D 08/19/2024 I saw this for the first time last Halloween on TCM. It was really well done and Lee was great in the portrayal.

It essentially does away with the politics and complexities of the story to allow for the character's full visceral impact, menacingly played by Christopher Lee.

See more 11/11/2016 Goofy and not especially historically accurate, Christopher Lee chews up the scenery in this film about the titular monk and his rise to power within the Romanov dynasty. There's not a lot of especially interesting royal court intrigue or especially interesting of supporting characters, but Lee's crazy eyes and wild performance as Rasputin make this film more than worth checking out. Lee really does carry the day here on this one. See more 10/25/2016 Lee certainly looks and plays the part well.
