Film Description
One of the most sumptuous of the postwar cycle of Hollywood epics, this retelling of the legend of T.E. Lawrence who led the Arabs against Ottoman oppression during the First World War also contains one of the most psychologically complex roles of the age.

Lawrence of Arabia is a film where everything comes together and works. The
magnificent photography captures the sheer physical presence of the desert
and then lays superb, sweeping action on top of it, complemented perfectly
by Maurice Jarre's music. Alec Guinness, Omar Sharif and Anthony Quinn act
magnificently and look as though they belong in the desert and the arid
cities but Peter O'Toole bestrides the film and gives the performance of his
career. His tormented Lawrence brings a depth of character and richness
rarely seen in epics. Three hours long and never a flagging moment, Lawrence
is a genuine contender for the top ten films of all time.
