TAPES CIRCULATED

Some nameless threat lurked just on the horizon of the world, waiting for the sun to sleep. The feeling gnawed at her insides like a hungry cat. There was a sense of the imminent, the remorseless, the mindless; it growled like a heat maddened panther, ready to strike at the long shadows of the dying light

(In brief, the 1932 MGM Studios film Rasputin and the Empress is a dramatisation of the life and times of Grigori Rasputin which is partially adapted from the personal memoirs of Felix Yusupov, one of the principal conspirators responsible for Rasputin's assassination. The film, which was heavily marketed as being based on real events, falsely claims that Rasputin fucked Yusupov's wife, Princess Irina Alexandrovna. As both Yusupov and Princess Irina were still alive at the time, they jointly sued MGM for libel – and won. This is actually, literally the reason the practice of including those disclaimers was taken up.)
