-Comment: Igor Boudkevitch as young Tsarevitch Alexei in a short white sailor suit (long white stockings), also long black pants (at least in publicity pics, see comments) and a sailor's hat.

For the sake of completion as previously announce on List 20: Alexei Tsarevitch and Rasputin films.

Had been aired some weeks ago, but I missed the beginning. I haven't noticed any sailor suit scenes and also none of the older Alexei nor others in sailor suits. However this is mainly a biography of Rasputin (played by Depardieu, pictured on left holding him). Quite interesting movie and Depardieu did a good job. But I can't any higher than 2-3 for sailor suit scenes of this little boy (movie is a bit better).

Another French Rasputin film is in production starring Jean Reno as Rasputin. And also The Young Rasputin (USA, 2014).

("Tsarevich Aleksei (1996)" starring Aleksei Zuyev as Alexei; directed by Vitali Melnikov is about a different 1700s Tsar.)

Update: Now I have seen a pic of a boy about 10yo in a green uniform. Not sure if this is Alexei as well. Maybe there are more scenes of an older Alexei in a sailor suit?

  1. Is Alexi in this film wearing long trousers or long white stockings? It isn't quite clear from this movie still? I have the impression that he was normally dressed in a sailor suit with long pants. Is this assumption correct?
