 Amazon.ca: Editorial Reviews DVD: Nicholas and Alexandra (Widescreen)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In this 1971 Academy Award-winning film, the cinematography of Freddie Young contrasts the pomp and ceremony of the Russian court of Czar Nicholas II (Michael Jayston) and his beloved wife, Czarina Alexandra (Janet Suzman), with the misery and despair of the czar's poverty-stricken subjects.
The result is a visual triumph that captures the supreme elegance of a Russian ball and the abject horror of a czarist assault on ragged peasantry.
Jayston is appropriately handsome and haughty, and Suzman both regal and human.

Perhaps the quintessential example of the intimate epic, Nicholas and Alexandra is the compelling story of Nicholas II (Michael Jayston), the last Czar of Russia, and his wife Alexandra (Janet Suzman).
Director Franklin J Schaffner frames the intimate lives of the Imperial Couple against the dramatic backdrop of the Russian Revolution, creating the filmic equivalent of a monumental frieze.
This movie is absolutely brilliant with some fine acting by Michael Jayston and Janet Suzman as the last Tsar and Tsarina of Imperial Russia.

To Zoom In Another veteran of British television, Michael Jayston came to Cluedo with a long history of successful roles.
I most fondly remember him as the wimpy Neville from the fantastic comedy "A Bit of a Do"; but his other credits include several appearances in "Dr. Who" (as The Valeyard), "Darling Buds of May" (as Ernest Bristow), "Tales of the Unexpected" and a host of different Shakespeare TV productions.
As well as his famous character in "Eastenders", Grantham's other roles include Boyard in the gameshow "Fort Boyard", Estragon in "Waiting for Godot" and Danny Kane in "The Paradise Club".

Other renditions of Macbeth such as the one by Roman Polanski, though entertaining, are no match for this rendition of one of Shakespeare's classic plays.
This version of Macbeth featuring Jayston and Hunt is a-must-watch for every fan of Shakespeare and lover of literature.
In spite of the two or three omissions, I cannot but rate this version of Macbeth a five-star movie.
