The war sequences in King Vidor's
War and Peace are cool. Well, they're
big anyway, and the scale of direction is impressive. But this 1956 movie version mostly feels like a bloated melodrama rendition of Tolstoy's novel with a bunch of USAmerican 1950s moral conservatism and ideology laid over top of it. I liked Mel Ferrer in this or at least I
think I liked Mel Ferrer in this. Maybe I just thought he was handsome, though.
