This movie was a lot better in my memory, but it is still pretty good — especially when seen at the Ziegfeld theater. Julie Christie is sure as hell not unnatractive and no amount of Bolshevik factions (or wives, for that matter) ought to keep glassy-eyed (and icicle-moustached) Omar Sharif from her. I like a big fat soap opera set against geo-political conflicts in ideology, don’t you? And that song! Dah-dah-dah-daaaaaah! Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-daaaaaaaah!
