Hollywood's Take on Tolstoy

War and Peace was given the Hollywood treatment in 1956 apparently.
The lavish production starred the incomparable Audrey Hepburn as Natasha and Henry Fonda as Pierre Bezukhov.

Check out the trailer.....



Hepburn was nominated for Best British Actress in the 1957 BAFTAs for her role in War and Peace.  And the film got excellent reviews.  I have not seen it myself but will keep an eye out for it.
