Doctor Zhivago





Julie Christie as 'Lara' in Doctor Zhivago
The Beacons of Budapest have on occasion referred to themselves as The Last of the Great Romantics. Issue must be taken with part of that assertion as GSL currently has a resting pulse of 62bpm so they are not alone. There are times when I find myself in the company of a young couple who are quite obviously truly, madly, deeply in love which gladdens my heart to no end and often share my impression with the couple who blushingly confess that my keen instincts are once again right on the money. To young Romantics, GSL's decrees include: listen to Sinatra only at night, read Tolstoy only in Winter, and set aside a snowy day of leisure with the love of your life and watch Doctor Zhivago together without distraction. It's the most Romantic movie ever made.
