War and Peace
- Commentary: Under construction.
This is about the Soviet war drama released in four installments from 1966-67. The cast is huge. I should probably treat it as a series in four parts, thus being able to highlight more cast members and commentary specific to each part. Stay tuned for that.
The director of each part of the series, by the way, is the same for the entire series. That information is reflected in the final Wikipedia link at the very bottom of this write-up.
