Review of Lawrence of Arabia (1962) by Luke S — 06 Jan 2013
David Lean's extraordinary historical epic tells the true story of a British military officer (Peter O'Toole) who is sent into Arabia to aid the country's many tribes and their leader (Alec Guinness) with their rebellion against Turkey.
Lawrence of Arabia is epic in every sense of the word especially with F.A. Young's mesmerizing cinematography of the vast Arabian dunes and Maurice Jarre's equally incredible musical score. The cast, which includes Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Omar Sharif, Anthony Quinn, and Jack Hawkins, is sensational given that they had the strenuous task of carrying a four-hour picture and making it go by fast.
To simply put, Lawrence of Arabia is a truly grand, epic spectacle.
