This is the Grand Ball scene from the 1967 Russian adaptation of Tolstoy's 'War and Peace'. This scene takes place sometime prior to the invasion of Russia by Napoleon and here Prince Bolkonsky (the actor who plays him in my opinion could have played Wellington ^_^;;) meets Natasha Rostova.  

If the video is not working, here is the direct link to utube.

UPD: Some stills of Bolkonsky.

Natasha is so pale! But Bolkonsky definitely has something of Wellington about him. :D
