Well, I got sidetracked. While looking online for the Kurosawa version I came across the 2003 Russian miniseries, which is on youtube in 10 fifty minute installments. So far I've made it through four, and I have to say it's riveting and exciting. I'm remembering much more from reading the novel some 25 years ago than I thought I would.
Highly recommended!
