Doctor Zhivago Summary

Doctor Zhivago by Ian Christie

The multiple award-winning Doctor Zhivago (1965) is one of America's finest films of all time. Ian Christie contextualizes the film as an epic Russian love story and a Cold War classic, charts its production and reception, including the contribution of designer John Box, and discusses the unique history of the Bruce Pasternak novel it is based on.

Doctor Zhivago Reviews

Christie's study of the film's reception usefully debunks a few myths, and draws wry comparisons between American critics' attitudes towards the film with Soviet critics' similar, if more ideologically driven, objections to the novel. -- Sight & Sound * Michael Booke *
