We wonder if Lawrence himself really knew the answer, but thats why this is a such a great film; it doesnt pretend to know the answer any more than Lawrence, yet we do come to some understanding of his complexities, his demons, his strengths and his odd charm.

While Hollywood was stagnating in the early sixties, it was the likes of David Lean that reminded us what power existed in the moving image, and that power has never waned with his extraordinary Lawrence of Arabia.
That image of O'Toole's messianic Lawrence, twirling around in a vision of white, is one of the great images of the cinema.

In any list of the great adventure films of all time, the Sam Spiegel-David Lean production of "Lawrence of Arabia" must stand near the top.
Perhaps a shade too tall and handsome for a physical re-creation of the man, O'Toole is, nevertheless, a superb actor who brings out Lawrence's awkwardness, his conceit and fondness for Arab dress and his loyalty for the desert tribesmen, as well as the loneliness and despair of his later years.
