Bold handling of crude unbridled passion, of violently conflicting ideas, and of earthy humor makes up The Brothers Karamazov.

Very uncertain in period and atmosphere, and saddled with some terrible performances.

Conspicuous assets are the striking color photography and the musical score, both of which help a great deal in enhancing the drama's savage and soulful moods.

The performances, either through uncertain casting or the inequalities of the script, achieve no unity or style or attack.
