"I Killed Rasputin" - A 1967 Film by Robert Hossein w/Felix and Irina Commenting
Laura Mabee:
Last night the Drive In Channel played "I killed Rasputin" It was an old 1967 picture with horrible acting and a bad English dub over French. It also has a really distasteful tag line : He raped a country and died for a woman! :-/
The movie was a adaptation the Felix Yussupov's book Lost Splendor. Bob has this book to read at:

There is also a little movie tidbits here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061829/
Has anyone else seen this?
Annie:
I had always hoped that Lost Splendor would be made into a movie. I'd love to see this! 1967 was the year Felix died, did he get to see this?
Janet_W.:
Annie, that's a great idea. It should use that exact title and be crafted in a "Masterpiece Theater" style--i.e., not something cheap and exploitive, but a film with a strong script and a good director, focused on portraying the enigmatic Felix and his times. If I had the bucks, I would finance it . . . in my opinion, this is the type of project, with its themes of bisexuality and troubled national politics, whose time has definitely arrived!
Annie:
Janet, that would be a dream come true!
Annetta:
HI
it's well known there are many films about Rasputin. one of them was produced in France in 1967.
Robert Hossein made a film called "I killed Rasputin".
Can anybody share with that video? i eagerly interested in it as Felix Yusupov and his wife Irina commented on that event. this is an opportunity to hear their voices and manners!
Please, help!!!
