The Brothers Karamazov

“The greatness and glory, the loves and sins of the famed novel.”

Dmitri Karamazov (Yul Brynner), an elegant army officer in 1870 Ryevsk, is always broke and wants the money he believes his father owes him. Fyodor Karamazov (Lee J. Cobb), a rich libertine, keeps his purse strings tight and has taken up with Grushenka (Maria Schell), the same woman Dmitri loves. Richard Brooks puts the brothers around one table, and Dmitri, still betrothed to Katya (Claire Bloom), cannot stop wanting what his father holds.
