Product Information

Catherine Zeta-Jones (MASK OF ZORRO, TRAFFIC) portrays the legendary German princess in this made-for-TV epic. In 1744, young Sophia is crowned Catherine II, wife of Peter (Hannes Jaenicke), a horrible despot and ruler of Russia. Soon Catherine rises above her oppressive environment to become the famed Czarina of Russia. The film is helmed by the great TV-movie director Marvin Chomsky, who earlier made HOLOCAUST, ROOTS, and VICTORY AT ENTEBBE, among others.

intriguing but frustrating
If you are able to get this A&E DVD release at a low price, this might be worth obtaining. However on a dramatic level this DVD falls short because the original 3 hour running time of this mini-series has been truncated to just 100 minutes! It's a frustrating experience but if one wants to see the entire 3-hour program, you might have to get the double disc DVD edition from Germany. (Naturally it's in English as well as optional German.)

Gorgeous Catherine in Costumes
First of all, I didn't like the price. Second, it was only an average, at best, production. I can understand why the previous owner wanted to get rid of it. Not very entertaining, however, the costumes were very nice. The little revolution that put her on the throne was not displayed in full action, and John Paul Jones involvement in the Turkish conflict was completely omitted. Sorry, not a very historically accurate production. It might have taken more time, but that would have been worth it
