Doctor Malarkey

Rating: 1/10 (22 February 2017)

Why this crap ever won 5 Oscars, when it was disliked by even the critics and most people who watch it today 52 years later, will remain a mystery.
Omar Sharif, who has the nastiest eyes, I've ever seen on an actor, plays Doctor Zhivago. A medical doctor, a poet and a guy who marries his step sister, have kids with her and cheats on her with an icy blonde. Yet he's suppose to be this romantic hero, when he's basically an a**hole.
Oh and it takes place in Russia, during WW1 and the Russian revolution. It has a lot of snow and very cold weather in about 95 % of the movie. The most annoying soundtrack you will ever hear, wooden acting, a gross nasty Rod Steiger, male actors, often wearing visible eyeliner, saying ridiculous lines and taking themselves way too seriously. Long boring pointless scenes that could have easily been edited out. Not to mention the two pointless very long intermissions. And on top of all that: a running time of insufferable 3 hours and 20 minutes.
Avoid this crap!!!
