Subject: BS: Dr. Zhivago - the film From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Feb 15 - 08:58 PM Subject: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: kendall Date: 19 Jan 15 - 02:54 PM Does anyone know how long the DVD of Doctor Zhivago runs? Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Jan 15 - 02:58 PM You'll find that and more in the IMDb listing for the film. SRS Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: GUEST Date: 19 Jan 15 - 03:15 PM Runtime: 197 min | 192 min (1999 re-release) | 200 min (1992 re-release) You could have just told him, SRS... Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: GUEST,Stim Date: 19 Jan 15 - 03:19 PM The film is three hours and twenty minutes long, depending depending on how involved you get in the credits. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: GUEST,Hi Lo Date: 19 Jan 15 - 03:30 PM Great film, one of the few when I liked the film better than the book. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Stilly River Sage Date: 19 Jan 15 - 06:15 PM And take away your opportunity to snipe, o surly nameless guest? IMDb is a great resource for viewers as well as those in the entertainment industry. We have a few mudcatters with credentials there. Jed Marum, for one. SRS Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Rapparee Date: 19 Jan 15 - 09:38 PM And my old friend and director (now deceased) Roy Brocksmith. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: kendall Date: 20 Jan 15 - 07:49 AM Thanks. I looked in the places I know and didn't see it. A friend just bought a 55 inch tv and we want to watch the show. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Stilly River Sage Date: 20 Jan 15 - 09:57 AM John Weldon also. He has posted links here at Mudcat to some of his short animated films. Kendall, a good DVD or BluRay player will upsize a DVD so it fills the entire screen of that new television. If you view the film in BluRay you'll get the whole High Definition effect of that screen. Have fun! SRS Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Rapparee Date: 20 Jan 15 - 10:25 AM You need to know the running time so you know how much beer to buy. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: GUEST,HiLo Date: 20 Jan 15 - 11:28 AM Or good cheese,olives and dry red wine! Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Jim Carroll Date: 20 Jan 15 - 12:12 PM I did some electrical work for a film director who was a cameraman during the making of Doctor Zhivago. He told me of how he approached director, David Lean, with suggestions of how the 'Storming of the Winter Palace' scene could be more effectively lit - Lean told him to "come and see me in the morning" When he arrived, he was handed his ticket back home. Jim Carroll Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Rapparee Date: 20 Jan 15 - 01:23 PM Or vodka, borscht, and black bread. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: GUEST,Hilo Date: 20 Jan 15 - 07:12 PM Couldn't beet that! Sorry! Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: michaelr Date: 20 Jan 15 - 08:09 PM Who was that, Jim? Dr Zhivago is three hours plus, but it feels like six. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Rapparee Date: 20 Jan 15 - 08:16 PM That's because of the snow. Snow always makes things seem longer than they are. The last time I saw Dr. Z. it was snowing and it seemed to last all week. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Jim Carroll Date: 21 Jan 15 - 04:50 AM "Who was that, Jim?" Nicholas Roeg Jim Carroll Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Stilly River Sage Date: 21 Jan 15 - 12:56 PM Nicholas Roeg. Another interesting read. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: GUEST,punkfolkrocker Date: 22 Jan 15 - 12:52 PM Last time I watched Doctor Zhivago all the way through [approx 30 years ago] I was annoyed by the negative way Tom Courtenay's character was portrayed. These day's I think I'd be more concerned about how many toilet breaks this movie would require.... Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: GUEST Date: 22 Jan 15 - 01:03 PM Nicholas Roeg made a very unsettling movie "Don't Look Back" - at least it unsettled me when I first saw it back in 1973. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Jim Carroll Date: 22 Jan 15 - 01:18 PM I worked for Nicholas Roeg when I sub-contracted for a very skillful family firm of builders from Coventry - four of them would drive down to London on a Sunday night, live in a two-roomed swamp of a place for five days, then go back to Coventry on Friday They were magnificent builders who got extremely high class work from a number of 'names' (I once taught the Marquis of Drogheda's young son to pronounce the name of the place correctly - he insisted it was Drog-heda) They were fitting a kitchen for Roeg, who was married to actress, Theresa Russell at the time. One Sunday night, the BBC showed one of her very erotic films which the lads had all watched on TV, and the following day, when we started work, one of them turned to her (still bleary-eyed and in her dressing gown) and asked, "Hey Terry, wasn't it you prancing around in your pelt on television last night?" Jim Carroll Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Wesley S Date: 22 Jan 15 - 04:31 PM My suggestion: Watch Dr Zhivago on the hottest weekend of the summer. Conversely watch Lawrence of Arabia on the coldest weekend of the winter. Subject: RE: BS: Doctor Zhivago From: Charmion Date: 23 Jan 15 - 07:45 AM Wait for the moment when the boxcar door slides open, a sheet of ice falls away, and Zhivago is confronted by a fantastic blue sky and a huge snow-covered mountain. I believe that shot was taken at Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies. I agree that Pasha is badly handled in the screenplay. Tom Courtenay has an uphill job of finding anything sympathetic in the character. |
