It's essential to watch this film at the highest resolution possible on the biggest screen you can find. Director David Leanfilmed it on sumptuous 70mm film instead of the usual 35mm, which allowed for incredible sharpness. The desert shots are mind-blowing: glimmering mirages, whirling clouds of sand, teeny-weeny people and camels inching across m...
Crossing the desert, Lawrence meets Sherif Ali of the Harith. Despite several attempts to cast white actors in this role, including Alain Delon and Horst Buchholz, and the left-field suggestion of using Bollywood legend Dilip Kumar, the film-makers were eventually obliged to settle on a genuine Arab: Egyptian superstar Omar Sharif.

The other Arab leaders in the film, Prince Faisal and Auda abu Tayi, are played by non-Arabs: Alec Guinness and Anthony Quinn respectively. The screenplay minimises their roles so as to big up Lawrence's, though the real Lawrence had already bigged himself up in his autobiography.

The first of these things happened; the second sort of did, though Lawrence did not have to shoot the same man he rescued. In real life, he shot on...
The movie focuses on an incident which has long bothered Lawrence biographers: what happened, or didn't, at Deraa. Lawrence wrote in The Seven Pillars, and in private letters, that he was imprisoned there by district governor Hajim Bey (José Ferrer) and tortured, sexually assaulted and perhaps – his descriptions are elliptical – raped. The film hin...

When Lawrence, who has adopted Arab dress, returns to the British headquarters, he says bitterly: "In Cairo, you will put off these funny clothes. You will wea...
Its sand dunes may be littered with historical errors, but Lawrence of Arabia remains a terrific movie – and a compelling portrait of an enigmatic man.
The film stars Peter O'Toole as Lawrence with Alec Guinness playing Prince Faisal. The film also stars Jack Hawkins, Anthony Quinn, Omar Sharif, Anthony Quayle, Claude Rains and Arthur Kennedy. The screenplay was written by Robert Bolt and Michael Wilson.
