The Poly is screening a beautifully restored masterpiece to mark Doctor Zhivago 50th anniversary and to raise funds.
Doctor Zhivago won 5 Academy Awards and Lara’s Theme, the musical motif created by composer Maurice Jarre, is one of the most recognised film themes in history.
With breathtaking cinematography by Freddie Young, stunning costumes, which inspired the Zhivago look and presented just as it was originally with play-in music and an interval.
In Moscow on the eve of the First World War, medical student Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif) meets the beautiful Lara (Julie Christie), setting in motion a fateful romance that turns their lives upside down.
Featuring excellent support from a roster of acting greats including Tom Courtenay, Geraldine Chaplin and Alec Guinness, Doctor Zhivago portrays at its heart an intensely human and passionate relationship, challenged by the politics of tradition and war.
This fundraising event has been kindly sponsored by Barclays Bank in Falmouth, who’ll be match funding all ticket sales to be invested in improving the Poly, which is a charitable organisation.
