Grushenka, Lee J. Cobb for the role of the father, and Claire Bloom for the role of Katya.

The question now is — has Richard Brooks succeeded, after five months of attempts, serious work, and execution, in the difficult task that the men of the seventh art considered a great adventure?

... The critics' predictions all point that way, for Richard Brooks, the moment he set about selecting the actors for his leading roles, hit upon two faces that stand in the front rank of actors and reach farthest in popularity among the patrons of the cinema. Maria Schell, the enchanting blonde, is counted today the first rival of the lady of the screen after Garbo — I mean Ingrid Bergman... And the name of Yul Brynner has shone these past two years throughout the world, above all in his two films: "The King and I" and "Anastasia," which carried off a grand prize.

In any case, it is thought likely that the film "The Brothers Karamazov" will be the master of the screen of 1958 and will enter the history of the cinema through the gate of honor.
