Rated 25 Nov 2011

The acting, directing and cinematography are more than able, and it's just barely possible to figure out everyone's motives in time for the eponymous duel. The trouble is that not one of the characters is fleshed-out to the point of being relatable, unlikable, or at all substantial. Chekhov's story is distinctive and interesting, and Mary Bing's script clearly robs it of its rightful power.
