Here's a one-reel coming attraction for DOCTOR ZHIVAGO that concentrates on the movie's source, the novel of the same name, and its author, Boris Pasternak. It begins with the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature to Pasternak, and his refusal to accept it. It's graciously worded, hinting at political pressure.
We then get a biography of Pasternak, illustrated not by moving images, but sketches and still pictures.
It's certainly not your standard coming attraction, and by that, is certainly compelling, offering a bit of a mystery to its subject, and to the novel.... and thereby, to the movie.
