    how is it this film has so few ratings on flixster? it's very entertaining! lorre is great as the arrogant impoverished writer who sees himself as a 'superman' like his hero napoleon but is ultimately undone by his own conscience. of course no film will entirely live up to a ...( read more)great novel and this is an oversimplified version to be sure; the odd mix of accents barely acknowledge the russian setting. it's a hollywood bastardization of dostoyevsky so be prepared but definitely worth it for lorre fans

    I think this movie didn't show the best parts of original novel. Actors performances were good, but I don't think Raskolnikov should be characterized in the movie's way. And this whole movie finished at a very strange scene....
