An epic tale of love in times of turmoil, Dr Zhivago proved immensely popular at the global box-office. Collaborating once again with David Lean, this adaptation of Boris Pasternak’s novel Dr Zhivago saw Robert Bolt establish himself as a screenwriter adept at creating works with an epic scope. The film would receive five Oscars including one for Bolt, who would also win a Golden Globe for his work on the script.
