I saw this in the cinema in 1969 and it was magnificent. It really was like having a time machine and seeing the scenes as they would have been: enormous battle scenes, huge landscapes, magnificent balls, palaces and stately homes. Apparently it was shot, using two sets of cameras, in 70mm and 35mm. As screened in most cinemas, it was 70mm, but that film is said to have so deteriorated as to be unusable. The DVDs (and VHS before that) are taken from the 35mm film, which cuts out half of the 70mm picture. Much of the impact of the original - tragically - is therefore lost.

Russian epic film version of a classic book.a lot of work went into making it a compelling watch. I liked the strong wind effect blowing leaves in one of the Battle scenes.
