Edstaston is brought to the imperial court to seek audience with the empress Catherine (Jeanne Moreau). He obtains an interview with her courtier, the drunken Potemkin (Zero Mostel), who ends up carrying him in his arms to the empress and dumping him into her royal bed. From this moment on, the hapless Edstaston endeavours to escape from the clutches of the sex-crazed empress and leave the city with his English fiancée.

Great Catherine 1968 movie (Peter O'Toole)

Posted by Lia on Mar 4th 2026

I remember seeing this movie years ago, but I was young and did not appreciate it fully. Thirty years later, I watched it again and laughed out loud, the production, cast and costumes are amazing. The movie plot alone is awesome, a must see if you like comedies and Peter O'Toole in general. Thank you for having this available, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the commercial breaks are a bit distracting. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase, the value for the money spent and the availability and selection of movies on ZEUS.
