"Crime and Punishment"
1969
Directed by Lev Kulijanov

Lev Kulijanov's supremely authentic translation of Dostoevsky's great novel to the screen, with Innokenti Smoktunovsky playing the Police Inspector Porfiry, and Georgi Taratorkin as the impoverished student-murderer Raskolnikov. Perhaps the best performance, however, belongs to Tatyana Bedova as Sonia, the beautiful woman with the power of redemption. Cinemascope. Russian with English subtitles.
220 minutes.
