Thirded. A phenomenal performance from Lee in Rasputin.

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

I imagine his performance was aided by the personal aspect of the story, having met Rasputin's assassin, Felix Yussupov, as a child and, later in life, met Rasputin's daughter.

I think my problem is the fact it gets lumped in with the Hammer horrors when it's more like their historical adventures - Devil Ship Pirates, Stranglers of Bombay etc.

So if it's classed as a loose biopic then yeah it's very impressive.

That's probably down to it starring Lee.

Someone on Blu-ray.com has reported receiving a postcard for Blood and Black Lace.

It seemed like a cert after their comments to me 'keep an eye on the schedule I think you will be very happy' on another forum when I enquired regarding Blood And Black Lace, but it's nice to have it confirmed.

Slightly apprehensive about these 'Arrow Store Exclusives', but I'll wait and see where they're going with it.

I too love Chris Lee as Rasputin though he's no Boney M.

You are right this is far more frightening

here lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

[Spoken:]
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.

"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

[Spoken:] Oh, those Russians...
