 All characters and events in this photoplay are fictitious. Any resemblance  to any real persons living or dead is coincidental. The reason for this  disclaimer: In 1932, Prince Felix Yusuppoff successfully sued MGM for  $1,000,000 because their Rasputin movie implied the Mad Monk snarked his  wife, the Princess Irina. Now, heres a guy who admits to murder,  conspiracy, political intrigue and an astoundingly degenerate lifestyle,  taking a studio to court because Lionel Barrymore leered at a starlet.  Aint love grand.
