In recreating the the social and personal upheavals attending Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia, $6 million was shelled out by coproducers Carlo Ponti, Dino de Laurentiis and Paramount Pictures. Some of the panoramic battle sequences are so expertly handled by second-unit director Mario Soldati that they appear to be Technicolor-and-Vistavision newsreel footage of the actual events. Still, the film falters dramatically, principally because of a lumpy script and King Vidor's surprisingly lustreless direction. In addition, the casting is wildly consistent: for example, while Audrey Hepburn is flawless as Natasha, Henry Fonda is far too "Yankeefied" as the introspective Pierre. Proving too long and unwieldy for most audiences, War and Peace died at the box office; far more successful was the epic, scrupulously faithful 1968 version, filmed in the Soviet Union.

(Spanish) Review: War and Peace movie - Great watch for a Sunday afternoon. Some Russian and French history, but mostly for entertainment Review: Must watch - One of my mom’s favorite movies. She purchased without me knowing. I feel like I’m the parent and she’s the teenager. Oh well. It’s a movie everyone should watch in their lifetime. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Alberto Carlo Lolli, Alfredo Rizzo, Andre Eszterhazy, Andrea Esterhazy, Andrea Fantasia, Angelo Galassi, Anita Ekberg, Anna Maria Ferrero, Anna-Maria Ferrero, Audrey Hepburn, Barry Jones, Bob Cunningham, Bridget Boland, Carlo Dale, Carlo Delmi, Carlo Ponti, Cesare Barbetti, Charles Fawcett, Clelia Matania, David Crowley, Dino de Laurentiis, Enrico Olivieri, Geoffrey Copleston, Georges Brehat, Gertrude Flynn, Giacomo Rossi-Stuart, Gilberto Tofano, Giuseppe Addobbati, Gualtiero Tumiati, Guidarino Guidi, Guido Celano, Guy Thomajan, Helmut Dantine, Henri Vidon, Henry Fonda, Herbert Lom, Irwin Shaw, Jack Cardiff, Jeremy Brett, Jerry Riggio, John Douglas, John Horne, John Mills, John Stacey, Joop van Hulzen, King Vidor, Lea Seidl, Leo Tolstoy, Leslie Hodgson, Mai Britt, Maria Zanoli, Marianna Leibl, Mario Camerini, Mario Chiari, Marisa Allasio, May Britt, Mel Ferrer, Michael Billingsley, Michael Tor, Milly Vitale, Mimmo Palmara, Mino Doro, Nino Rota, Oscar Homolka, Oskar Homolka, Patrick Crean, Paul Davis, Piero Gherardi, Piero Palermini, Piero Pastore, Richard Dawson, Richard Macnamara, Robert Cunningham, Robert Stephens, Robert Westerby, Sean Barrett, Stephen Lang, Stuart Gilmore, Teresa Pellati, Tullio Carminati, Tullio Carminatti, Umberto Sacripante, Vincent Barbi, Vittorio Gassman, Wilfred Lawson, Wilfrid Lawson Contributor Alberto Carlo Lolli, Alfredo Rizzo, Andre Eszterhazy, Andrea Esterhazy, Andrea Fantasia, Angelo Galassi, Anita Ekberg, Anna Maria Ferrero, Anna-Maria Ferrero, Audrey Hepburn, Barry Jones, Bob Cunningham, Bridget Boland, Carlo Dale, Carlo Delmi, Carlo Ponti, Cesare Barbetti, Charles Fawcett, Clelia Matania, David Crowley, Dino de Laurentiis, Enrico Olivieri, Geoffrey Copleston, Georges Brehat, Gertrude Flynn, Giacomo Rossi-Stuart, Gilberto Tofano, Giuseppe Addobbati, Gualtiero Tumiati, Guidarino Guidi, Guido Celano, Guy Thomajan, Helmut Dantine, Henri Vidon, Henry Fonda, Herbert Lom, Irwin Shaw, Jack Cardiff, Jeremy Brett, Jerry Riggio, John Douglas, John Horne, John Mills, John Stacey, Joop van Hulzen, King Vidor, Lea Seidl, Leo Tolstoy, Leslie Hodgson, Mai Britt, Maria Zanoli, Marianna Leibl, Mario Camerini, Mario Chiari, Marisa Allasio, May Britt, Mel Ferrer, Michael Billingsley, Michael Tor, Milly Vitale, Mimmo Palmara, Mino Doro, Nino Rota, Oscar Homolka, Oskar Homolka, Patrick Crean, Paul Davis, Piero Gherardi, Piero Palermini, Piero Pastore, Richard Dawson, Richard Macnamara, Robert Cunningham, Robert Stephens, Robert Westerby, Sean Barrett, Stephen Lang, Stuart Gilmore, Teresa Pellati, Tullio Carminati, Tullio Carminatti, Umberto Sacripante, Vincent Barbi, Vittorio Gassman, Wilfred Lawson, Wilfrid Lawson See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,239 Reviews | | Format | Subtitled | | Genre | Drama | | Language | English | | Runtime | 208 minutes | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Drama - **Format:** NTSC, Subtitled - **Contributor:** Dantine, Helmut, Ekberg, Anita, Ferrer, Mel, Fonda, Henry, Gassman, Vittorio, Hepburn, Audrey, Homolka, Oscar, Jones, Barry, Lom, Herbert, Mills, John, Vidor, King - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 208 minutes ## Images ![War and Peace - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wUpD6BmHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ War and Peace movie *by A***Z on February 22, 2026* Great watch for a Sunday afternoon. Some Russian and French history, but mostly for entertainment ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must watch *by L***U on September 18, 2025* One of my mom’s favorite movies. She purchased without me knowing. I feel like I’m the parent and she’s the teenager. Oh well. It’s a movie everyone should watch in their lifetime. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I liked War and Peace the Movie, My reasons *by A***S on February 14, 2017* For no other reason than Audrey Hepburn oh yeah Henry Fonda and Mel Ferrer two pretty good actors (tongue in cheek) I obviously am not able to make meaningful comparisons to the great book. because I did not read it, I will catch up some afternoon when I get a few minutes. (oh yeah) the movie was long as was the book, Because of the excellent acting I liked the unfolding of the story (story within a story) I love period stories that take one to another time in history it was all of that. I will not speak about the lives that unfolded,The war scenes toward the end were well done and pretty accurate from a novices point of view it is well known that Hitler got a very large dose of the same mud, snow ice, extreme freezing, unprepared. It was not noted that Napoleon had two choices of retreat from Russia he picked the worst one. (Yeah I did read a little history somewhere.) It is recorded that out of over 200,000 man army little more or less than 30,000 got back alive. The fighting and retreat was was a big splash toward the end of an interesting story. I liked it a whole lot for my reasons. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/43753798-war-and-peace](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/43753798-war-and-peace) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
