CGiii Comment
Of very minor CGiii interest - depending on how you interpret the relationship between Tolstoy and Chertkov.
Mrs Tolstoy was convinced that they were bumming each other.
Hoffman has managed to make a fine film - how unlike him - a great cast can help a director tremendously - here's the proof.
