- Synopsis
- This epic 19th-century Russian tale is based on the critically acclaimed novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Four very different brothers growing up in a rural village in tsarist Russia plot against their wealthy, overbearing father. When the eldest brother, Dmitri, falls in love with his father's mistress, jealousy drives him to consider killing his father. But, ultimately, another brother takes his father's life and wrongfully accuses Dmitri of the heinous crime. Richly splendid costumes as well as a remarkable ensemble cast contribute to the lavish atmosphere of this epic tale of romance, greed, and salvation.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Bold handling of crude unbridled passion, of violently conflicting ideas, and of earthy humor makes up 'The Brothers Karamazov.'"
-
"While not as terrible as his subsequent adaptation of 'Lord Jim', this 1958 Hollywoodization of the Dostoyevsky novel by writer-director Richard Brooks is pretty grotesque all the same."
