Doctor Zhivago (1965) - Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Geraldine Chaplin, Rod Steiger, Tom Courtenay

David Lean’s epic version of Boris Pasternak’s 1957 novel revolves around Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif), a decent medical man who loves life and writing poetry. Although happily married with a young son, he falls for nurse Lara (Julie Christie) during the Russian Revolution, and endures many hardships as he and his family are forced to leave Moscow. Lean’s film reunites many of the team from his 1962 triumph Lawrence of Arabia – screenwriter Robert Bolt, cinematographer Freddie Young, production designer John Box, composer Maurice Jarre, and of course Omar Sharif.
