I've never read the novel so this is

I've never read the novel so this is my first exposure to this epic material and it's not bad. It's half decently made all around. It's defintely trying to be a epic drama and war film that reminds me a lot of Doctor Zhivago but not as well done. The production value is good, the battle scenes are good, there are some epic shots in this, and Audrey Hepburn is great. That's the best things about this in a nutshell. That being said, Mel Ferrer is just alright and feels a bit wooden. Fonda isn't bad but I don't know it felt like he was almost miscast for this. Neither don't have any real special chemistry. Now I can tell you there probably is quite a bit of stuff cut from the novel because it does jump around at times between the stories of all 3 navigating through the Napolean's Conquest of Russia. And this feels VERY long. The third hour is defintely the best one though. The direction is pretty basic also and it feels like it doesn't always make the best use of it's assets to give an epic feeling. Like certain shots feel like they could be done better to convey a much better epic scope. This alternates between epic and intimate with mixed results. This kind of makes you feel the weight of that runtime. There isn't any intermissions in this so definetly take a couple breaks with this. It makes sense enough but I just really never felt that much emotional connection to any of the main trio for the reasons listed above. If your a big fan of the source material and a fan of any actors in this than maybe it's worth a shot with this. I am aware there are better adaptations than this. For a Western version it would be worth it to try and remake this.

Never read the novel, but from an entertainment

Never read the novel, but from an entertainment standpoint this was surprisingly enjoyable to watch. Massive sets with thousands of extras and intricate uniforms, grand battle scenes, and some good acting all around. Ferrer was decent but nothing special, Fonda did well despite being miscast, Audrey was the standout and is practically the reason to watch. The film is definitely long at 3hr30, and some scenes felt dragged out. But the visuals are a highlight and were impressive to watch.

Audrey’s movies are all extremely entertaining, but, her

Audrey’s movies are all extremely entertaining, but, her War and Peace is just wonderful. The acting is exceptional and this is one of my favorite of her movies. This truly deserves a higher review.
