Dostoevsky's Crime & Punishment (Film in English)

[Inna Caron]

Yes, Ben Kingsley plays Porfiry Petrovich, and there are other famous
actors in this version (Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy as
Raskolnikov and Julie Delpy as Sonya). The director, however, took quite
a few liberties in the attempt to present Raskolnikov in a more
favorable light.

There is a 1980 BBC mini-series, starring John Hurt, meticulously
following the text, but a bit lackluster. It is also 6 hours long.

I use clips from both in class, for different reasons.

I have seen a made-for-TV version, which I believe was the one with Ben 
Kingsley. It was a few years ago, but my memory is that it wasn't a bad 
effort!
