Back To Index Catherine the Great
 Barnes & Noble A sweeping costume drama from A&E, Catherine the Great tells the story of a young woman who rises from a relatively obscure position in the royal court to become one of the most remarkable monarchs in history. In a role predating her U.S. breakthrough in The Mask of Zorro -- and her much-publicized marriage to Michael Douglas -- Catherine Zeta-Jones dazzles as a 15-year-old German princess in 18th-century Russia. In this English-language German production, we follow Catherines ascent in the court of Empress Elizabeth (Jeanne Moreau), her triumph over the despicable Peter (Hannes Jaenicke), the empresss nephew (who becomes her husband), and her eventual crowning as tsarina of Russia -- Catherine the Great. Omar Sharif and Mel Ferrer round off the all-star international cast with ample supporting roles. A gripping, real-life fairy tale begging for multiple viewings, Catherine the Great is an intriguing role from Zeta-Joness past, one that clearly foreshadows the talents of a superstar in the making.
