...friend Pierre Bezukhov (played by Director Bondarchuk), who represent the two faces of the aristocracy. The outlines of the plot are familiar even to those nonreaders who saw the 1956 miniversion, with Audrey Hepburn, Mel Ferrer, and Henry Fonda. Andrei, a sophisticate and soldier, is unable to alter his archaic sensibilities and perishes in the war.
