Dr Zhivago (1965)
directed by David Lean
cinematography by Freddie Young
art direction by Terence Marsh
Aural Adjunct: On a Good Old Time Sleigh Ride by the Peerless Quartet, another of my all-time year-round favorites.
If you enjoy this song, don't bother searching out other recordings by the same group. Unfortunately, they really embraced the racist attitudes of their time and made many recordings accordingly. Disappointing, because there is so much energy and joy in this recording and the vocal parts are so complex and unusual that it makes me long for more of the same.
