The summary of War & Peace (really, just the part about Pierre and Andrei and Natasha) had me wondering if the 2001 movie Pearl Harbor was inspired by the story because the romantic set up is SO similar (my googling does not seem to find a connection but I believe.)

I grew up with the version of Peter and the Wolf narrated by Cyril Richard. My parents had the LP, of course, played on our "hi-fi". Yeah, I'm a Boomer. I haven't listened to it in decades, but when I just listened to a minute of it now on YouTube now, to confirm that was the right one, I immediately recognized his voice. So no other version sounds right to me.
