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.)
oh that is so interesting! I have not seen Pearl Harbor since the slumber party in 2002 where we watched it 4 times in a row, but it is a very specific style of love triangle!
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.
I will listen to Richard's today! I love hearing about people's relationship to Peter and the Wolf because it is so dependent on age and what your parents grabbed when.
