Closed Captioned; Second Audio Track; Bio/Filmographies; Soundtrack English; Academy Awards; Director's Comments; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Behind The Scenes David Lean's DOCTOR ZHIVAGO is an exploration of the Russian Revolution as seen from ... Full Descriptionthe point of view of the intellectual, introspective title character (Omar Sharif). As the political landscape changes, and the Czarist regime comes to an end, Dr. Zhivago's relationships reflect the political turmoil raging about him. Though he is married, the vagaries of war lead him to begin a love affair with the beautiful Lara (Julie Christie). But he cannot escape the machinations of a band of selfish and cruel characters: General Strelnikov (Tom Courtenay), a Bolshevik General; Komarovsky (Rod Steiger), Lara's former lover; and Yevgraf (Alec Guinness), Zhivago's sinister half-brother. This epic, sweeping romance, told in flashback, captures the lushness of Moscow before the war and the violent social upheaval that followed. The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Boris Pasternak.Shot in Panavision.
Co-produced by Carlo Ponti Productions.
Writer Boris Pasternak won the Nobel Prize for his novel, but refused to accept the award.
Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein's film "Potemkin" provided inspiration for David Lean, who allegedly based the massacre scenes in "Zhivago" on that revolutionary classic.

This is a beautifully crafted movie with a particularly poignant and moving musical score. The panoramic winter scenes are breathtaking and moreover, convey the frigid, essentially limitless expanse of Russia. In my opinion, this is one of the 5 or so best movies ever made.

they don't make movies like this anymore, this is the most amazingly beautiful adventure and love story ever filmed, it is truly an epic, a classic, and one of the greatest works of art of the 20th century,
The reason to own this dvd is simple, the quality of the video transfer is so great, its hard to believe this movie is 36 years old!!!
and as for extras? this is one of the best making of documentaries i have ever seen, as far as dvd's go, if you are a serious film buff, this belongs in your collection, period.
in short, this is a four star movie, and a four star dvd, anyone who loved "gone with the wind" , will also love "doctor zhivago", as well. this dvd gets my highest rating, very well done, excellent.

Doctor Zhivago film
 $10.35 
Based on a series of comics by underground cartoonist Robert Crumb, this X-rated animated film brings a cynical eye to the idealism of the 1960s. It's a world where black people are crows, cops are pigs, rabbis are lions, and cats--like New York University student Fritz (voiced by Skip Hinnant)--are substituted for guilt-ridden white guys who want to be poets but mainly smoke pot and engage in group sex. After a drug bust by a couple of bumbling pigs makes him an outlaw, Fritz sets fire to his NYU dorm and hits the road in search of self-discovery. The crazy cat steals a car, starts a race riot in Harlem, and ends up stuck outside San Francisco with a group of sadistic revolutionaries led by a junkie biker rabbit. Throughout these adventures, Fritz's pot-addled self-righteousness gradually gives way
