Plot
A Russian doctor and poet is torn between two women during the Revolution and the civil war.
Sinekatalog’s take
David Lean's lavish adaptation of Pasternak's novel sets a poet-doctor's love triangle against the Russian Revolution. Maurice Jarre's 'Lara's Theme' and the snowy landscapes are famous.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
