From Pasternak's sweeping epic novel, set in the World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution It's strenght lies in it's portraal of the realities of life in Russia after the 1917 Communist Revolution. The most memorable thing of all is the romantic score.

2) Omar Sharif. He portrays an emotional character without getting sentimental.
3) Script.
Cons:

Long, Long, Long love story involving using the history of Russia and its transformation to the USSR as a backdrop. Good film, might doze off a bit.
To me Dr Zhivago is an unforgettable movie. Following one amazing person through a period before, during and after Russia's Bolshevik revolution. I've always loved the music as well. One of my top ten movies.
Starring Omar Sharif, his best role. Good love story and good historic setting. Good scenes, especially the icy house. Good music.
Great movie...an epic...
The suspense scenes were great...as were the visuals with the iced over country house and winter scenes...
Does it have many Waltz's?
It's arrived... just got to watch!
What a horrible film!
A well made film, about difficult times...
No waltzes... not enough music in my opinion, but a little music which was good & overall a good film to see.

Zhivago (Sharif) is torn between the love of two women. His wife, (Chaplin) a sweet,and devoted woman, or Lara, (Christie) the beautiful woman he loves, & desires with all his heart, & soul.
The beautiful song "Lara's...( read more)
