Sigmund Freud was one, right? I like this movie, but I fast forward through Rasputin where possible. I find him falling to pieces (literally) a little off-putting.
Bartok is very entertaining!

Wow! Gonna have to rewatch that song.
You'd think Marcelle Marceau would put in an appearance. What's Paris without a mime?
I've only seen this one in Russian (as it should be seen if you ask me), and Rasputin's voice is much deeper and gravellier and generally makes the character more disturbing than Christopher Lloyd.
