A must see WIDE screen movie experience.
One of the Top Ten films of all time! - American Film Institute List.
“In the power, sweep and realism of its story dealing with the legendary war hero, the picture has rarely been equalled. Add to this, the brilliance of its acting, most particularly Peter O'Toole, the excellence of David Lean's direction and the breathtakingly beautiful photography of the Sahara Desert and the film becomes a "must.”
“The film opens with Lawrence's tragic death, then flashes back to 1916 in Cairo, when he was attached to the British general staff and requested to be transferred to Arabia. After being given his wish, the story of Lawrence's exploits in the desert unfolds.
“It is in the astute casting of Peter O'Toole as the enigmatic Lawrence, that the producers have scored their greatest triumph. O'Toole is a superb actor who brings out Lawrence's awkwardness, his conceit and his loyalty, as well as the loneliness and despair of his later years. - Frank Leyendecker
