Hey guys,

The Lost Secret Of Catherine The Great
9:30pm Tuesday, January 31, 2006
The erotic secret of the world's most licentious monarch.
Art. War. Theft. Greed. Sex. Death. Scandal and intrigue. The Lost Secret of Catherine The Great, airing on ABC TV on Tuesday 31 January at 9.30pm, peels back the layered skin of history to reveal the beating heart of the great Tsarina's erotic masterpiece.
For centuries, tales of Russian Tsarina Catherine the Great's wildly erotic exploits have fuelled our imaginations. But at the heart of these legends was a real room crawling with images of carnal love.
The furniture, paintings, sculptures, walls and ceilings were rampant with the most sensual depictions of sexual congress. Last seen by German soldiers in winter 1941, the room's exotic contents have vanished. Or have they?
Filmmaker Peter Woditsch takes us through both fire and war to follow the trail of lies, deception, art trafficking, greed and desire that circle one of the greatest collections of erotic art the world has ever known.
