Last night I couldn't sleep so while flicking through channels I came across on the ABC (Australia) the film "The rise of Catherine the Great" it was an entertaining movie and I giggled at Catherine in soilder uniform as it reminded me of seeing the photographs of OTM in their regiment uniforms.

Was wondering if any one has seen this movie do they know it if it was filmed in any of the Russian palaces?  I'm saying the actors were British but the sets looked like they were from the palaces before their distruction of WWII.
