bagladymimi Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Thank you for the link - that was a very interesting interview. Robert Osborne interviewed Peter O'Toole at the TCM Festival this last year. I hope you got to see that. O'Toole was just as enthusiastic as Sharif. I think this is probably the best picture ever made - the 3 hrs. 44 min. just flies by. The cinematography is still outstanding. After reading a book about Lawrence, I discovered that basically everything in the movie was true. Lawrence truly was an amazing man and "Lawrence Of Arabia" was and still is a wonderful film, even after 50 years. They don't make movies like this anymore.

dpompper Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 No, I haven't seen that interview. Thanks for the heads up. I had the privilege of seeing the restored "Lawrence" on the big screen in the late '80s. Very glad I did. As "Teddy" in "Arsenic in Old Lace" shouted "Charge!" as he ascended the stairs, I sometimes shout "Akaba!" (sp?) when embarking upon a challenge.
