And Quiet Flows the Don
Bondarchuk's last feature film, and his second in English, was an epic TV version of Sholokhov's "And Quiet Flows the Don", starring Rupert Everett. It was filmed in 1992–1993 but premiered on Channel One only in November 2006, as there were disputes concerning the Italian studio that was co-producing over unfavorable clauses in his contract, which left the tapes locked in a bank vault. After his death, the film remained locked for several years until it was recovered and released in 2006.
