Reminds me of the film Doctor Zhivago. The character of the younger communist student of Pavel "Pasha" Antipov and then the older Bolshevik commander Strelnikov, who was the husband of Julie Christie's character "Lara" Antipova.
Julie Christie, was she hot or what. I saw her in many movies from tha era. Doctor Zhivago should be mandatory viewing in our high schools, maybe turn back the marxist hordes.
