Review of Doctor Zhivago (1965) by Stephen E — 08 Dec 2012
The biggest problem that "Doctor Zhivago" has it that it feels long just for long's sake; as though David Lean though that by making it almost two hundred minutes long he would somehow make it more of a masterpiece.
Of course, he was wrong, and "Doctor Zhivago" ends up being almost a third longer than it needs to be. It contains some outstanding photography from Freddie Young, worthwhile performances from its actors and some memorable sequences, but some more work should have been done in the editing room.
Minus an hour and it would been a more enjoyable film.
