Review of War and Peace (1956) by Jay N — 28 Jun 2011
Lumbering, stagnant version of an epic novel that could not possibly be covered in 3 1/2 hours. Miscasting is another major downfall of this production, Audrey Hepburn and Henry Fonda were great stars and very fine actors but they were the wrong ones for this film.
Fine production design and beautiful photography do not an entertaining film make. A trial to sit through.
