Audrey Hepburn is considered perfect as Natasha, but Henry Fonda is too "Yankeefied" as the introspective Pierre.

The film was almost nine hours long; it involved thousands of actors and extras and it took seven years to finish the shooting, as a result of which the actors age dramatically from scene to scene.
