The epic, lavish, yet ultimately tragic true story of Tsar Nicholas II (Michael Jayston), a man who lost an empire because he couldn't say "no" to his wife (Janet Suzman).
Directed by Oscar-winner Franklin J. Schaffner and featuring an all-star cast of England's greatest actors - Laurence Olivier, Irene Worth, Harry Andrews, Jack Hawkins, Michael Redgrave, and Tom "Dr Who" Baker as Rasputin - 'Nicholas and Alexandra' is "the most literate and well-wrought screen spectacle since 'Lawrence Of Arabia'" (Hollywood reporter).
