69IB. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA: (1962)
w/Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Omar
Sharif, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins,
Anthony Quayle, Claude Rains, Arthur
Kennedy & Jose Ferrer.
Seven Oscars—including Best Picture—went to this
spectacular 1962 biography of one of the century's
most enigmatic heroes.
T.E. Lawrence was an obscure lieutenant assigned
to British Army intelligence in Cairo when Britain de-
clared war on Turkey in 1914. Two years later, he was
dispatched to aid the Arab tribes under Prince Feisal
in their uprising against their Ottoman overlords. In
the course of his career as a leader of desert gueril-
las, Lawrence would galvanize the Arab revolt, endure
indignities from his Turkish captors and eventually
lead his forces to a smashing victory at Damascus.
All of this is captured brilliantly by director David
Lean and his cinematographer Freddie Young (both
Oscar winners along with Maurice Jarre, who com-
posed the haunting score). But what distinguishes
the film is Peter O'Toole's powerful portrayal of Law-
rence—a complex, self-tortured man who is both a
philosopher and terrorist.
Written by Robert Bolt ("A Man for All Seasons"),
the film also won Oscars for its art direction, editing
and sound. Supporting Cast . . . Prince Feisal: Alec
Guinness. Sherif Ali: Omar Sharif. Auda Abu Tayi:
