Rasputin and the Empress is a 1932 film about Imperial Russia starring the Barrymore siblings—John (as Prince Chegodieff), Ethel (as Czarina Alexandra), and Lionel Barrymore (as Grigori Rasputin). It is the only film in which all three appeared together. The film's inaccurate portrayal of Prince Felix and Irina Yusupov as Prince Chegodieff and Princess Natasha caused a major lawsuit against MGM.
