Yet another Alexei and Romanov movie. This time an early MGM production, also starring John, Ethel and Lionel Barrymore. I don't know the complete movie but assume rather few sailor suit scenes. He was also being embraced by a women grapping his collar. Interesting plot as the other versions and quite good, though b&w. Rating 5-6 for now. Film aka "Rasputing the Bad Monk". Probably not Public Domain yet.

Other Alexei movie entries so far

Rasputin (1996) rating 6
Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna (rating 7, starring Christian Bale)
The Lost Prince (2003) also Prince John and Prince George, rating 7
(I still haven't checked all Alexei films) and will make other entries next time.

And again the real Alexei


Update: Also a teen girl in a sailor dress.
