 In editing "Zhivago", Lean and producer Carlo Ponti reduced or outright deleted many of the themes composed by Jarre; Jarre was angry because he felt that an over-reliance on "Lara's Theme" would ruin the soundtrack.Jarre's esthetic fears notwithstanding, the theme became an instant success and gained fame throughout the world.By special request of Connie Francis, Paul Webster later took the theme and added lyrics to it to create "Somewhere, My Love".
