War and Peace

The BBC dramatisation of Tolstoy's epic story of love and loss set against the background of the Napoleonic Wars. Anthony Hopkins heads the cast since Pierre Bezuhov (a job which he won the 1972 Best Actor BAFTA). Morag Hood is the beautiful and spontaneous Natasha Rostova. Alan Dobie is the dour but Andrei Bolkonsky that is heroic. And David Swift is Napoleon, whose decision to invade Russia in 1812 has consequences for the Bolkonsky and Rostov families and Pierre. The twenty-part serial has been producer David Conroy's fantasy whose principle aim was to move the characterisation and incident in Tolstoy's greatest novel to a tv drama. Scripted by Jack Pulman and directed by John Davies, Conroy's War And Peace boasts superb acting, awardwinning design (1972 Greatest Layout BAFTA) and breathtaking battle sequences that were filmed in former Yugoslavia.
