Personally, I don't think it is necessary to compare this with the Soviet giant. After all, this movie is a Hollywood movie, and the cost and length of the film should be considered. In the 1950s, the performances of film actors were more or less influenced by dramas and stage performances, so it is normal for the performances to be slightly exaggerated. I think that if you want to evaluate this film more objectively, you have to look at it from the perspective of the time. It is too harsh to look at it from the perspective of modern movies. In addition, it is absolutely impossible for this version to be shot in the way that the Soviet Union does not remember the costs and benefits, so the scene cannot be so grand. Personally, I think Hepburn, Mel and other actors performed well, and Hepburn read the original book many times during her pregnancy, which can be said to reflect the dedication and hard work of the older generation of filmmakers (you must know that there are no special effects, blasting, Group performances have to come). Therefore, you don't have to look at this film and all the movies from the 50s and 60s too harshly. After all, you have to consider the time and cost issues. Of course, this is a personal opinion, and it is normal to have other attitudes towards this movie. It varies from person to person, everyone has a different vision, and there is not much to dispute.
