Rasputin: The Mad Monk (1966)


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Rasputin, the Mad Monk is a 1966 Hammer film
directed by Don Sharp.

The story is largely fictionalized, although
some of the events leading up to Rasputin's
assassination are very loosely based on Prince
Yusupov's account of the story. For legal
reasons, the character of Yusupov was replaced
by Ivan (Matthews). Yusupov was still alive
when the film was released, dying on 27
September 1967.

The emphasis is on Rasputin's terrifying powers
both to work magic and to seduce women.
