Loved the movie so much that I read the book and took a Russian History course that was most enlightening. It was taught by a Russian emigre who was born in Peking China where his Russian nobility family had fled from the Bolsheviks. As he guided us through successive generations of Russian History he would often stop to comment on people he was related to that were relevant. You can’t go wrong with any David Lean film. And Julie Christie was fabulous!
