I think the work of Scofield is better than the work of Reeve and Bisset.

[champ24girl]

no doubt! he was the best actor in the world!

I need this movie, I need it. VHS; absurd!!!!!!!!! I need it, the complete version... Man, Scofield is so great

Karenin was right. He did everything humanly possible for Anna. He warned her about what would happen. Anna chose to ignore the warnings, and thought she was so cool. Then when things start to go wrong, she wants to blame Karenin (who warned her). That said, it's sad that this 3 1/2 hour movie is butchered to 1 1/2 hours on tape.

@Cybele1986 Yes, you are rigth; yesterday I was thinking about this novel, and other french novels of the century, and I was think: That Karenin is such a deep character, Tolstoy is very subtle when he describes Karenin... But in the movie is clear too that Reeve and Bisset feels, perhaps, little intimidated by Scofield... Unfortunatley I never see the movie.

@Eudora74 It's hard to be an Anna or Vronsky. Karenin is inherantly the best written part, almost inevitably played by a very talented actor: James Fox, Stephen Dillane, Basil Rathbone, Eric Porter, Ralph Richardson and Scofield have all played the part

@Eudora74 yes i'm rather naughty (looks abashed). Bless your adorable heart Eudora...

[Eudora74]

@Zennofobic I knew that your coment was a ironical, and now I know that you are a little impertinent, but don't worry, impertinance is something free and usual here in youtube and internet, enjoy it.

[Zennofobic]

@Eudora74 I was being ironical. It's like someone making a post saying I think the Ferrari 599GTO is a faster and more technically advanced car than the Toyota Corolla or a Volkswagon Passat. But maybe you don't know much about cars either...

[Eudora74]

@Zennofobic Yeah, Bisset and Reeve are good actors but here, with Scofield, in a master piece of Tolstoy... oh, they didn't know how to manage their escenes with Arkadin.

[Zennofobic]

@Eudora74 gee really, duh ya think so?

The first actor to play this part in a way that makes it clear why Anna does not want to be with him.
