Directed by: David Lean
Starring: Rod Steiger, Julie Christie, Omar Sharif, Geraldine Chaplin
Factual error: This movie is set in a part of the world that is well known for its harsh cold weather and frigid temperatures. Yet despite countless scenes of people outdoors in what is supposed to be the bitter cold of winter, you never see the vapor from anyone's breath.
Factual error: The peaceful protesters bear a banner saying "Brotherhood", which is spelt "Братство" in Russian. On the banner a "т" is missing, and the word is written "Браство."
Audio problem: During the "peaceful protest" scene, in a close-up of the crowd the mouth movements don't match the soundtrack.
Gen. Yevgraf Zhivago: A nameless number on a list that was lost, or mislaid. That was common in those days.
Trivia: Geraldine Chaplin, the actress who plays Dr. Zhivago's wife, is the daughter of the silent film actor, Charlie Chaplin. Her maternal grandfather was famed playwright Eugene O'Neill.
