Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
David Lean focused all his talent as an epic-maker on Boris Pasternak's sweeping novel about a doctor-poet in revolutionary Russia. The results may sometimes veer toward soap opera, especially with the screen frequently filled with adoring close-ups of Omar Sharif and Julie Christie, but Lean's gift for cramming the screen with spectacle is not to be denied. The streets of Moscow, the snowy steppes of Russia, the house in the country taken over by ice; these are re-created with Lean's unerring sense of grandness. The movie is so lush and so long that it becomes an irresistible wallow, even when logic suffers--like Gone with the Wind before it and Titanic after. Sharif, who achieved stardom in Lean's previous film, Lawrence of Arabia, mostly looks noble, but the supporting cast is spiky: Rod Steiger as a fat-cat monster, Tom Courtenay as a self-righteous revolutionary, and Klaus Kinski and Alec Guinness in smaller roles. Geraldine Chaplin, in her adult debut, plays the doctor's compliant wife. Robert Bolt's screenplay won one of the film's five Oscars, with another going to perhaps the most immediately recognizable element of the movie: Maurice Jarre's romantic music, with its hugely popular "Lara's Theme" weaving in and out of a swooning score. --Robert Horton

It is easy to understand why this film has retained its popularity over such a long period of time- the gorgeous visuals, the attractive cast, the exotic design and cinematography, and the sweeping musical score.

He himself is a noble man of character, but in terms of the narrative he just isn't interesting enough ... Read More

Opening shot: Fade in on Alec Guinness's crotch. Pan up. While David Lean's Doctor Zhivago may not be the worst movie ever made by a major director, it's certainly a candidate, starting with the clumsy allegory of Pasternak's novel, in which Julie Christie's Lara/Larissa (La Russe, or Lady Russia, get it?) successively succumbs to a powerful capitalist (Rod Steiger), a vicious Stalinesque figure (Tom Courtenay), and the titular artist-cum-scientist intellectual (Omar Sharif), giving birth to the beautiful ...

I greatly enjoyed this movie. Even though it is quite old, it was in very good conditon. Shipping was prompt.

Tis is probably the best film directed by David Lean, bringing to life the great novel by Boris Pasternak. Superb in every way.

I am happy to see this movie rereleased.
However I would like to know why the run time is stated at 191 mins. when the original run time was 197 mins. What was cut? Would like to pre order but I want the full movie not a cut version.
