{"product_id":"0850035985656","title":"Love and Death","description":"Woody Allen's \u003ci\u003eLove and Death\u003c\/i\u003e is purportedly a satire of all things Russian, from Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky novels to Sergei Eisenstein films, but it plays more like a spin on Bob Hope's \u003ci\u003eMonsieur Beaucaire\u003c\/i\u003e. Allen plays Boris, a 19th century Russian who falls in love with his distant (and married) cousin Sonja (Diane Keaton). Pressed into service with the Russian army during the war against Napoleon, Boris accidentally becomes a hero, then goes on to win a duel against a cuckolded husband (Harold Gould). He returns to Sonja, hoping to settle down on the Steppes somewhere, but Sonja has become fired up with patriotic fervor, insisting that Boris join a plot to kill Napoleon. Intellectual in-jokes abound in \u003ci\u003eLove and Death\u003c\/i\u003e, and other gags are basic Allen one-liners; for instance, after being congratulated for his lovemaking skills, Boris replies nonchalantly, \"I practice a lot when I'm alone.\" The pseudo-Russian ambience of \u003ci\u003eLove and Death\u003c\/i\u003e is comically enhanced by the Sergey Prokofiev compositions on the musical track.","brand":"Sandpiper Pictures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47186420170992,"sku":"0850035985656","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0850035985656_p0.jpg?v=1763881206","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0850035985656","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
