Best and worst?? New one on way?

The russian version fron the 80's follows the book very closely, including having everyone die at the end, and it is an unmitigated bore. The characters, and I mean every one of them, are completely without humor. In the book, this creates a certain hypnotic mood and works beautifully, but on film, it's deadening. To be fair, the English titles were obviously translated by someone who does not speak english and was translating phoenetically. For example if the line is "The killer is one of us", the title reads something like "Killer the us of one is". And I'm not exaggerating! This is through the whole film! Really horrible. Lombard and Vera DO get to have sex though!
