"It took a decade of preparation and two years of filming to produce this version of Tolstoy's extensive story about a turbulent period in Russian history - the Napoleonic wars. The personal stories of many characters, love affairs, and philosophies are woven throughout a massive and intricate tapestry. But given that Tolstoy's sprawling epic is particularly dense with multiple protagonists and complex characterisations, the narrative here can but dip into the wealth of material provided. A mostly American top-drawer cast deliver a range of unconvincing accents, and the quality of the performances are similarly varied, with Audrey Hepburn a stand-out as Natasha. The battle scenes, however, are convincing and lusciously captured as are the social mores of the ballrooms and boudoirs of early 19th century Russian society."@en

"War and Peace is a commendable attempt to boil down Tolstoy's long, difficult novel into 208 minutes' screen time. In recreating the the social and personal upheavals attending Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia, $6 million was shelled out by coproducers Carlo Ponti, Dino de Laurentiis and Paramount Pictures. Some of the panoramic battle sequences are so expertly handled by second-unit director Mario Soldati that they appear to be Technicolor-and-Vistavision newsreel footage of the actual events. Still, the film falters dramatically, principally because of a lumpy script and King Vidor's surprisingly lustreless direction. In addition, the casting is wildly consistent: for example, while Audrey Hepburn is flawless as Natasha, Henry Fonda is far too "Yankeefied" as the introspective Pierre. Proving too long and unwieldy for most audiences, War and Peace died at the box office; far more successful was the epic, scrupulously faithful 1968 version, filmed in the Soviet Union."@en
