The trailblazing genius that is
Dustin Hoffman is hugely apparent in this, his first starring role on television. Originally produced off-Broadway, Dustin Hoffman recreates his Onie Award-winning portrayal of Zoditch, a lonely, minor functionary in a publishing house. Based upon the novel "Diary of a Superfluous Man" by
Ivan Turgenev.
"...a highly effective adaptation of Turgenev, recommended for anyone who enjoys classic Russian literature. Hoffman is already a major acting talent here, convincingly proud, humbled, defiant, romantic and angry in turn."
