"DOCTOR ZHIVAGO" is no longer available for network TV broadcasts; it usually appears on Turner Classic Movies (as its parent company, Time-Warner, owns the rights to the film because they own the original MGM film library), or "leased" to other cable channels...and American Public Television, which sends it to some of their public TV affiliates during "fund-raising weeks": one of them is New York's WNET, which occasionally presents it on their Saturday evening "CINEMA 13".
ack seeing the god warrior after this washed my buds of the past clean.. no i've been violated! dr. zhivago was an incredible moment of creative ability... thank god for the arts!
Dr.Zhivago was a great film. Directed by Sir David Lean and had an all star cast with Julie Christie as Lara. She won an academy award for the 1965 film "Darling" which Dr. Zhivago also released.
Oh yes, the announcer is the late Joel Crager, who was "the voice of ABC's movie nights" in the '70s and '80s...

Y'know there is a station on cable - called the "G4" channel.
They have an intro I saw the other night that was VERY reminiscent of these '70s ABC intros being shown here on this post.

This bought back wonderful memories, but notice they didn't mention the director. Sorry, Dave, hope you ain't mad.
