About this product

Product Information

David Lean's masterpiece, perhaps the greatest of screen epics, stars Peter O'Toole in one of the most electrifying debuts in film history. The film is less an ordinary adventure than an experience that leaves an overwhelming sense memory of the struggle between two powerful forces: the Arabian deserts, immense, intractable, ever-shifting, punishing; and T.E. Lawrence, humble as a monk, flamboyant as a rock star, protean, polymathic, heroic, enigmatic, mad. While working on the staff of British Intelligence in Cairo in 1916, Lawrence's fluency in Arabic earns him a post on a mission sent to establish contact with Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness), leader of the Arab revolt and ally of the British against the German-sponsored Turks in WWI. Impressed by Lawrence's knowledge of their culture, the prince allows the young officer to join his staff, and Lawrence quickly earns the Arabs' respect after he executes acts of extraordinary heroism. As the Englishman's genius for guerrilla warfare becomes evident, he assumes the role of de facto leader of the Arab revolt, uniting the heretofore warring tribes into a devastatingly effective weapon. But the chaos of war also unleashes the repressed officer's powerful need for self-abasement and mortification of the flesh. A visionary work that unfolds one indelible image after another, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA fuses the conflict of man against man, man against nature, and man against himself into a sublime poem of force. The film features a literate script by Robert Bolt and an outstanding cast, which also includes Claude Rains, Jack Hawkins, Arthur Kennedy, Anthony Quinn, Jose Ferrer, and Omar Sharif in his unforgettable desert-crossing debut.

  • Beautiful cinema!!!

    Can't believe that I, a movie buff had never seen Lawrence of Arabia. I've probably seen my fav...Doctor Zhivago at least 25 times. First at age 13 and bought it on VHS. Lawrence of Arabia was a real treat with so many of the greatest stars ever! Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif♥were amazing! The scenery was spectacular and the special edition was so informative!! I loved it!! I got a great copy too...brand new. They sure don't make these type movies anymore!! Many became directors because of seeing this fantastic story come to life! Wish Spielberg or Cameron would do a true life epic like this! The score was haunting but enchanting. Have to say this movie made this 64 year old grandma read up on the real Lawrence. Love history!!! Everyone needs to see and relive this classic...especially in today's troubled world. Beautiful Beautiful movie for all!!

  • Lawrence of Arabia movie review

    Need to have a basic understanding of the history behind the story to appreciate the film. Life is hard in a desert so crossing it to achieve a political gain and fighting along the way was the crux of the film. I went to Seville, Spain this month and found the movie was filmed at the government complex in 1962. I also like Peter O' Toole's part in the Last Emperor of China, filled in 1987. He was a great actor.
