How wonderful to discover that an adaptation of Tolstoy's last novel, Voskreseniye ('Resurrection') was filmed in 1934 with the great Fredric March as Prince Nekhlyudov. His performance as Count Vronsky in the following year's Anna Karenina (opposite Garbo) is one of the screen's great portrayals.

If we are to be brothers, let us be brothers for life, die together.

Just saw this and I think it was a little heavy handed, especially with the "happy ending" with the couple going off for hard labor in Siberia for five years (but they're together! ) -- but the leads were very appealing and I found myself rooting for our heroine.
