    I watched Brothers Karamazov (1958) about a month ago , I think on TCM. It was pretty good, but I have nothing to compare it to, and I never read the novel.
    I notice there is also a Soviet movie adaptation from 1969

    William Shatner cast as the shy, pious brother ... the type of role he'd never see again after Jim Kirk came alone. It's a great novel if you're up for the time investment.

    The 1993 film of The Gambler (with Michael Gambon as FD in the scene-setting intro, where he hires the stenographer who will later become his wife) is pretty good. Louise Rainer makes a late-career appearance as ‘Granny.’

    ,I saw the earlier BBC adaptation of C and P and remember liking it though John Hurt was way too old to play Raskolnikov.

    Dostojewski is an author I really need to dive into. I only read "The Gambler" so far and loved it - then I started "Crime and Punishment" but it depressed me too much. Now, a few years later, I hope to approach his work again.

    My parents used to drive me to school in a four-door Dostoevski!
