David Lean made a masterpiece with "Doctor Zhivago". Like so many epic movies the cast is very impressive. Doctor Yuri Zhivago is played by Omar Sharif. He plays a Russian Physician and poet who falls in love with Lara Antipova played by the beautiful Julie Christie. The supporting cast is outstanding with Rod Steiger, Alec Ginness, Tom Courtney, and Ralph Richardson. If you read the list of cast members it is a long list of distinguished actors and actresses and they all do a wonderful performance. One man should not be forgotten and that man is the cinematographer Freddie Young. David Lean used him on "Lawrence of Arabia" so he knew he had the very best man behind the camera. "Doctor Zhivago" is a beautifully filmed masterpiece. The song "Lara's Theme" plays throughout the movie. It is a beautiful piece of music for a touching love story. I agree with so many others that have commented on "Dr. Zhivago" , this is a truly remarkable Five Star Classic Movie. P.S. "Doctor Zhivago" came out in 1965 and won 5 Oscars and 5 Golden Globe Awards. Freddie Young the cinematographer won an Oscar for his work. This is an amazingly beautifully photographed film of Russia.
