Customer Reviews of War and Peace
Lovely , simply charming and heartwarming This movie touched my mind in so many ways. One thing it brought to mind was that the most important things in life are still free. The cast was excellent and the cinematoghraphy was beautiful. I truely enjoyed this movie. An excellent choice for those who love history with a lot of romance.
Not a Bad movie- not a v. good one either
I view this movie with fixed emotions- having read the book i was disappointed that the movie had 6 writers and was more than three hours and yet failed to include so many of the books charming sub-plots about much of the supporting cast ie. Maria Bollonsky, Denisof, Nikolaii Rostof and even then did not fully expand some of the main characters. However the film has it's redeeming moments, Audrey Hepburn was charming and her perfomance is energetic and enthusiastic and Mel Ferrer played a quite difficult part- the brooding cynical Prince Andreii- well. Henry Fonda - though he looked like Pierre and throughout the movie eminates integrity- was really rather boring, furthermore his accent was very out of place and quite irritating. The cinematography was passable, as was the use of music but some parts were either bland or gaudy. There are some charming shots but the war scenes were anti- climax. Overall there were some parts that were charming and very true to the novel and other parts were boring and and did not stick to the novel at all. However I recommend this movie to those who have not read the book, and to those who have, watch it with caution, enjoy it but don't leave your expectations too high up
the Hollywood version
This film is a bit of a mess, but nevertheless very entertaining, mostly because of Audrey Hepburn...her charisma and enthusiasm make up for a lot of the muddled and mixed performances that surround her in this star-studded production of Tolstoy's masterpiece.
Hepburn's then real life husband, Mel Ferrer, does a pretty good job as Prince Andrei and Henry Fonda is Pierre, who despite sounding like "Young Mr. Lincoln", gives a convincing performance, and has several fine scenes. Nino Rota's score is a curious one, as the beautiful Italian-flavored melodies we're accustomed to hear from him are replaced by Russian folk tunes and battlefield music.
Perhaps too many big names and too many writers (6 of them !) made the heart of the book get lost, but this is Audrey's movie, and she's a delight to watch.
