Doctor Zhivago (1965) Dr. Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif) Russian Officer's Field Cap
Doctor Zhivago (1965) Dr. Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif) Russian Officer's Field Cap - A true rare piece of Hollywood history. From one of the greatest sweeping love stories ever made: David Lean's "Doctor Zhivago" (1965), the third in a trilogy of masterpieces for Lean, including "The Bridge on the River Kwai", and "Lawrence of Arabia". This is the hero screen worn Russian Imperial Army Officer's Field Visor Cap screen worn by the star, Dr. Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif). It is seen to great effect in the most defining moment in this epic motion picture. Yuri has become a doctor and wants to do his work "in the field". World War I erupts and Yuri is posted to a field unit outside Ukraine. While treating one of the wounded, he spots a nurse, Lara (Julie Christie), and asks her to help him. This is the first time he meets Lara, which leads to one of the grandest love stories in history. The cap is in excellent condition, and still contains the original Imperial Russian Military Officer Hat Cap Badge. "O Sharif" is written inside the lining of the cap. Only the thin leather hat-band strap is missing. The cap was originally purchased at the infamous Portobello Road Market in London and comes with a Letter of Provenience. Costumes and props from "Doctor Zhivago" are extremely rare, especially one of this significance, screen use and condition.
