Tolstoy documentary

[William Nickell]

There is a 30 minute documentary put out by Kultur, part of a series  
called called "Great Russian Writers."   I have not watched it in a  
long time, but remember it as being "adequate."  Someone told me once  
of a documentary they had seen on PBS which they found very moving,  
but I have not seen it or even heard of it since.
