Summary: The greatest story ever told
Review: Wow! That pretty much sums up what i have to say about this movie, I liked it very much. This is a true classic, the movie tells the story of Russia's last Tsar and Tsarina very well. You get a feeling of sympathy for the family and you begin to feel every emotion along with them. Everything from the happy birth of the heir Alexei, to the trials of war and revolution, all the way till their end. The cast picked to play the characters were really great and I swear Michael Jayston(Nicholas)looks exactly like the real tsar. Janet Suzman,(Alexandra) plays a truly loving and devouted wife and mother, just like the real Alexandra. The four daughters are also great and play the real girls just as charming as they really were. Rodric Noble,(Alexei)plays the Tsarivich well also. They make you feel as if they are the real family.
I have seen both the VHS and DVD versions and i must say that the VHS tape is terrible. There is so much cut out, so many moments that contribute to the story of the last Imperial Family of Russia. I would buy the DVD, it is full length and even gives you a behind the scenes look into the making of the film. This is a great movie, I would really encourage everyone who loves the Romanov story to buy this DVD.
