Audience Member I was not impressed with the love relathionship or the family relaship. The aspect I did enjoy was the stunts, particularly with the riding on the horses which looked impressive. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/15/17 Full Review Audience Member John Gilbert and Renee Adoree have terrific chemistry in this adaptation of a Tolstoy novel. George W. Hill did not have much of a career, but he showed definite promise with The Cossacks. Great direction, great cinematography, and some surprisingly good acting from all members of the cast. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
