This is the fruit of seeing “Lawrence of Arabia” on TV one day recently, and “Doctor Zhivago” on another:
And I’m not the only one who sees a resemblance (see first question here).
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an early photo of Peter O’Toole that shows one of the most distinctive traits he shares with Julie Christie—the pale but intense blue blue blue of their eyes, almost phosphorescent.

Boy was she gorgeous! I fell in love with her and the movie. Was there a better love story?

I had thought of that, long ago. However, I think I dismissed it out of hand. It’s the femininity issue, he is way out ahead of her on this one. (and please, keep political correctness in your pocket, whoever… we just aren’t that close)

Doctor Zhivago is one of those movie I always stop to watch when I happen to catch it playing on TV. Beautiful music, setting, story … one of the best ever!
