Storyline
Plot Summary |
This version of the Tolstoy classic lingers longer in Moscow during the weeks that follow the initial meeting of the starstruck lovers-to-be Vronsky and Anna Karenina. The story -- as it unfolds -- also focuses on Kitty, a young woman who is related to Anna's sister-in-law whose marital rift has brought Anna to Moscow. Until Anna shows up, Kitty had hopes of getting Vronsky, who is single and well connected, to propose to her. Ignored by Vronsky, Kitty turns her attention to another suitor, a man who seems to have a lot in common with Tolstoy.

Quotes |
Vronsky:
Our meetings are so brief, the dance also. Anna Karenina: But our reunions are so frequent. Vronsky: When I leave you, I'm lost in a world of strangers. When I touch your hand, we're alone. Anna Karenina: [Smiling as she switches dance partners] I return you to the world! See more » |
