Behind the Scenes

At the beginning of the film, Audrey Hepburn's role should be 13 years old, but she was 27 years old when the film was released.
Henri Fonda thought he was too old to play the role of Pierre Bezuhov from the moment he entered the production team.
Marlon Brando was considered for the role of Pierre, but he didn't want to work with Audrey Hepburn.
Audrey Hepburn's $350000 film pay for filming this film was the highest paid actress at that time.
In order to shoot epic battle scenes, the producer hired 65 doctors, dressed them as soldiers, and scattered them throughout the shooting site to take care of extras or stuntmen who might be injured during shooting[10]。
The 1956 edition of War and Peace was the first time that the novel had a huge impact on the screen, which can be called a successful example of Hollywood adapting Russian classics.Writers carefully selected the chapters of the original work and condensed the essence into this three hour work.Under the interpretation of Audrey Hepburn, this version of Natasha is like an angel falling into the world. Her every smile and smile makes people feel the inner spiritual strength of the characters and the flash of life.Natasha, a classic screen image in Audrey Hepburn's acting career[11]。(1905 film online review)
War and Peace unfolds a huge picture of Russian society at the beginning of the 19th century with the background of the Russian French war and the life track of Natasha and others as clues.Although the film failed to show all the essence of the original book due to differences in length and cultural background, the war scenes, lifelike characterization, especially the acting skills of Audrey Hepburn and Henry Fonda, make the film a successful example of Hollywood's rewriting of Russian classics.For Hepburn, the successful grasp of Natasha's character transformation process is the beginning of her getting rid of the idol positioning made for her by Roman Holiday and showing her great potential in acting[8]。(Northeast News Online Review)
The scene of Natasha deer played by Audrey Hepburn appearing in the window in the film is worth replaying. This moment can be taken to the dictionary to explain the words "girl", "elegance", "spirit", etc[9]。(commented by Heilongjiang Daily)
