WAR AND PEACE: VOL 1 (1972)

JOHN DAVIES

Plot

Impeccably casted BBC production of Tolstoy's classic, possibly one of the BBC's best productions. Set in the Russia of the Napoleonic Wars during the early 1800s, it follows the fortunes of two families, the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, whose paths become inextricably intertwined.
