A giant of a movie and a portion of history in film making. The legendary director David Lean delivers another classic with his team mate photographer. The musical score is great.
The film captures the expanse of the Mespotamian desert, the crafty designs of British Empire Building and the easy machinations and greed of the Arab rulers during the Turkish campaigns of World War 1. Peter OToole is Lawrence to the core and Alec Guiness makes a near perfect Prince Faisal. Omar Sharif is cast well. The attack scenes are phenomenally photographed and one savors the beauty of the desert in its loneliness. A film to see and pass on to the next generation.
