If you went to watch this movie with preconceived ideas of how the Tolstoy book should portrayed, you would be disappointed.
I hadn't read the book or watched much of the old black and white version and went with an open mind. I was a little confused at first when the film opened as a stage show. I soon came to terms with that and thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
There were some very good performances. Regular UK TV watchers would have recognised a number of faces. Even Kelly McDonald from Boardwalk fame.
Maybe the English artistic licence went a little too far for the discerning American movie buff.
