Incredibly handsome and sweeping production of the life of T.E Lawrence, a British Military Officer involved in the Arab Revolt in 1916-18.
A movie that has defined the word "Epic" and which continues to influence filmmakers nearly half a century on.
Although stunningly shot with almost serene cinematography, the film still hinges on an amazing and assured performance from Peter O Toole.
A grandiose and mesmerising achievement that is at home in the monumental battle scenes as it is in examining a historical legend and his many personal conflicts.
