Landlord!!!

Ahhhhaaa!!! Just one day ago, someone posted the entire film Rasputin the Mad Monk (1966) on You Tube. That is a fab film. Has a great feeling to it, and as I have written before, Lee was complemented on his performance by no one else than Maria Rasputina. The daughter of the starets himself. (No, Rasputin was no monk.)

I just rewatched Dracula Prince of Darkness. The sets of the films are very similar - they were made neck to neck at Hammer Studios in 1966. Even the actors are the same. (However, there is no doubt what character Lee prefers to play...)

I have, a couple of times, been to the palace in St. Petersburg  - in the cellar - where the murder took place. The room has a cold feeling to, it is daunting, and I assure you it has nothing to do with the waxfigures placed there.

Enjoy that voice like thunder, the dancing, the sex and and the very violent death scene.

"Landlord!!!!"

Watch it here!

Additional note: you can see a promotional clip on the release of Rasputin togehter with The Devil Rides Out. Lovely footage from the films and comments from co-actors!!! Recommended!!!
