New Arrival Nicholas & Alexandra (Twilight Time)

Produced by the legendary Sam Spiegel (Lawrence of Arabia) and directed by Franklin J. Schaffner (Patton) Nicholas and Alexandra (1971) based on Robert K. Massie’s scholarly biography tells the story of the last of the Romanov dynasty overtaken by the headlong rush of history and the Russian Revolution. The Tsar (Michael Jayston) and Tsarina (Janet Suzman) distracted by the deadly hemophilia of their only son and blindly convinced of their right to autocratic rule have no way of coping with the demands of their starving and impoverished people… and their fealty to the bizarre charismatic monk Rasputin (Tom Baker) only hastens their downfall. Featuring cameo appearances by Laurence Olivier Michael Redgrave Jack Hawkins Irene Worth John Wood Brian Cox and Ian Holm.Enjoy the extensive Julie Kirgo liner notes and film art packaged with the Blu-ray
