The classic BBC dramatisation of Tolstoy's epic story of love and loss set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. Anthony Hopkins heads the cast as Pierre Bezuhov (a role for which he won the 1972 Best Actor BAFTA); Morag Hood is the impulsive and beautiful Natasha Rostova; Alan Dobie is the dour but heroic Andrei Bolkonsky; and David Swift is Napoleon, whose decision to invade Russia in 1812 has far-reaching consequences for Pierre and the Rostov and Bolkonsky families. The twenty-part serial was the vision of producer David Conroy whose principle aim was to transfer the rich characterisation and incident from Tolstoy's greatest novel to a television drama. Scripted by Jack Pulman and directed by John Davies, Conroy's War And Peace boasts superb acting, award-winning design (1972 Best Design BAFTA) and breathtaking battle sequences which were filmed in former Yugoslavia. close

A man rides on a train and looks out the window and remembers his life, his work at the factory. He had just left to look for the place where his son died and was buried. The old woman on the train told him that she saw a fight on the outskirts of the city. He got off the train and went looking for his son’s grave. He settled nearby and decided to make a monument to the soldier who died here. But one day the military arrived, and it turned out that this was not the grave of his son, but someone's father. He went looking again. The military enlistment office pointed him to the village of Berezhki, where a Komsomol ticket pierced by a bullet was found. The name and patronymic matched, and only three letters remained from the surname. He came across this new grave with a woman, and again it turned out that the name of the one who lies there is only a stranger. He placed a monument on someone else’s grave and moved on. Passing some railway station, he met with a colleague of his son, and he stunned him - they say, a traitor your son, surrendered. For a long time they found out what and how, until they came to the conclusion that another person covered himself with his name. My father cried with joy and went on the road again. So he travels around the earth, looking for the grave of his son, and puts monuments to the dead. close
