...main characters, Lili (Sonia), Rene Brunel (Raskolnikov), Nicole Brunel (Dounia) and Inspecteur Gallet (Porfiry), act their way through the famous intellectual-kills-pawnbroker-and-suffers plot with a considerable degree of accomplishment.

And throughout the theme repeats itself: innocent girl must enter, hardened...
