If you're a fan of Catherine Zeta-Jones, you may be interested in this film. The young (26 at the time of the film's release) Catherine plays Russian Empress Catherine as she rises to power followed by the early years of her reign. A history course this is not, as the major events of 18th-century Russia are merely "Oh, by the ways."
