Tolstoy documentary

[Jane Costlow]

Bill,

Thanks - several people have suggested an Arts and Entertainment 
documentary that was made in the 70's, "Riches to Rags" - which they 
speak highly of.  Perhaps that's the one?  I'm hoping to track it down, 
and can let you know if it's available.

Best,

Jane Costlow
