This was the Best Picture winner of 1962. The movie that made Steven Spielberg want to become a director. I finally saw it yesterday. And I can understand all the great reviews and popularity that this movie generated. It is an outstading movie. A rare epic that is also the intimate story of a man. One really strange. An Englishman who was able to pull together opoosing Arab tribes and make them fight the Turks during World War I. In a way, he was partly responsible for making all these tribes call themselves "Arabs". It is also the story of a compassionate, secretive,inmensely egostistical man.
The movie also features a "who's who" of British actors of that era. Puerto Rican actor Jose Ferrer is here too in a small but scene stealing role.
You will never see the desert photographed quite this way. This is a movie that must be watched in a big tv.
And the music! Maurice Jarre's score is a true gem.
All in all, a movie worth seeing.
