 Doctor Zhivago 1965   N/R, 197 min.
Genre: Drama / Romance
Director: David Lean
Cast: Omar Sharif, Geraldine Chaplin, Julie Christie, Tom Courtenay, Alec Guinness, Rod Steiger, Ralph Richardson, Rita Tushingham, Klaus Kinski, Adrienne Corri, Siobhan McKenna, Jeffrey Rockland, Tarek Sharif, Bernard Kay, Gerard Tichy
Costuming and scenery are terrific in this Hollywood extravaganza. The Russian Revolution is the backdrop for Boris Pasternak's story about Dr. Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif) who falls in love with Lara (Julie Christie). There is one problem: he is already married to Tonya (Geraldine Chaplin). The film won five Academy Awards and was nominated for five others, including Best Picture, Director, and Supporting Actor (Tom Courtenay as Pasha, a revolutionary). 1 User Review
