Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe presence of Philip G. Epstein in the writing credits indicates that this film had been a project long in the works in Hollywood - Epstein had died six years before the film appeared. Director Richard Brooks had wanted to make the film in Russia, something quite impossible, of course, in the darkest days of the Cold War. MGM had insisted very firmly that the film made at their studios in Culver City, and several familiar standing sets from other MGM films appear in the movie. It was a box-office and critical failure, although it has gained in reputation somewhat over the years.

- Quotes
Smerdjakov: If you'll permit a comment, sir, you're not at all like your brother Dmitri.
Ivan Karamazov: Half-brother.
Smerdjakov: You're different from all of them. I could see that the first minute you arrived yesterday. Intelligence, audacity, cleverness...
Ivan Karamazov: You've just never met anyone who lives in Moscow.
Smerdjakov: No sir, it's those magazine articles you wrote, the ones about crime.
Ivan Karamazov: [pauses] You enjoyed them.
Smerdjakov: [takes out a magazine clipping, reads it] There is nothing in the world to make man love their neighbors. If there is no God, then nothing can be immoral. Everything becomes lawful, even crime. Crime becomes not only lawful, but inevitable.
