British production from 1948. This was the perfect role for her...she was every inch the movie star...in elaborate costumes, sweeping through beautiful sets and bringing to life one of fiction's great characters. The Britishness of the production seemed odd at first...they could have retained the story and changed the names and still had a good film...but I quickly got used to it.
This was a legitimate treatment of Tolstoy's novel. The staging of the death scene was particularly effective. Nice work.
