In 1970, Austrian director Maximilian Schell wrote, directed and starred in a version of Ivan Turgenev's novella, called Erste Liebe (American and British name: First Love), starring Schell as Pyotr, Dominique Sanda as Sinaida (Zinaida in the story) and John Moulder-Brown as Vladimir.
The film is quite obscure but in 1971, it was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film in the Academy Awards, losing to Vittorio de Sica's Il Giardino dei Finzi-Contini, which ironically starred Sanda (see [1]). It won the 1971 German Film Award. In the UK, it is frequently shown on Actionmax on Sky Digital.
