I love Dr Zhivago. I've recently re-read the book but prefer the film. My second favourite film is Gone with the Wind.
The only other screen couples that come close for me are Bogart with Bacall in the African Queen and Bogart again with Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca.

Just catching the tail end of this. Hard to believe it’s 55 years old!

Was there ever a more handsome film couple than Omar and Julie C? Maybe Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh?

Any advance?

I'm with you. In fact forget Julie Christie - though dh wouldn't agree. Xx

Loved Doctor Zhivago ,I worked part time in a;ocal cinema when it was shown and even after an extended time there 3 weeks of twice a day I still love it .I have always been fascinated with Russian history and with the relationship between Scotland and Russia and this however romantisised (is that a word) was a delight back then and even still now
