@m2a2n2o2n Actually, there are some people that hate it just because it's American. I actually read the book first, and then found the Russian (soviet) version first on here, and then found this one. I found the soviet version good, but the way that they portryed the noblemen and the Czar as sarcastically comic as they could (they had to), I found stifling, and annoying, as well as tragic. The American version is definately better.

The 1950s was a period of history when both the Soviet Union and the US were making films about classic Russian novels. "The Idiot" by Fyodor Dostoevsky was produced in the Soviet Union while the US produced "The Brothers Karamazov" by Dostoevsky and "War and Peace" by Tolstoy. For an American adaptation of a classic Russian novel which was set in the time of Napoleon This was not a bad film.

Considering this was 50's Hollywood , the length and complexity of the book...
AND Audrey ....this is not bad imo. But very watchable

The town looks like Atlanta, not like Moscow...

Bad bad movie!!! If Lev Tolstoy had lived at the time when this movie was done, he would have committed suicide. They stained his book. Natasha did not look and act like his Natasha. Andrey and Pierre in this movie were so wrong, nothing like the characters of Andrey and Pierre.

what happened to Natasha's brother Nicholas at the end?

You're right here, but the Americans made a beautiful and profound film with the same theme in ''Cold Mountian''

Er, no, because it was boring and badly cast. A 50-year-old Henry Fonda as a young Russian nobleman?
