Doctor Zhivago

I loved the film when I watched it some time ago as a teenager. However this time around I too thought it was far fetched and some of the acting was very wooden. I must remember in future not to rewatch films that I enjoyed in my youth, age has made me cynical?

I loved this film - I learned how to play Backgammon after reading that Omar Sharif played. We'd obviously need to spend some time playing it!
I second Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind. Another extraordinarily handsome couple - Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in Notorious.

I saw Dr Zhivago in Nairobi and loved it. This has prompted me to find 'Lara's Theme' and it's playing right now. When I left the cinema, the warm tropical evening came as a shock after all that snow!

I saw this film first when I was about 18 and found the love story with Lara to be so romantic. Watching it again as a married woman with an errant husband I deeply sympathised with his wife. Now watching for the third time I have been upset and moved by the horrors of the revolution and the suffering of the people. That must say something about the aging process!

On the other hand I was deeply in love with both Omar Sharif and also Peter O'Toole and I think I still am. I thought they were the most beautiful men I had ever seen and I still do.

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton! Went to see the film Cleopatra as a school girl and hated Liz Taylor with a vengeance since then. Burton seemed to be bewitched by her!
