Tsar Ivan Vasilevich The Terrible

Tsar Ivan Vasilevich The Terrible (1915)

Царь Иван Васильевич Грозный

This film was a true peculiarity, a filmed version of the great Feodor Chaliapin in one of his most famous roles; the fact that it was a silent film, with title cards, meant that audiences could only appreciate his acting. Another curiosity is that the film also included a minor role enacted by Richard Boleslavsky, who in 1932 directed “Rasputin and the Empress.”(9)
