Lawrence of Arabia is an absolutely classic film that deserves to be seen by all. Sure, it looks dated now, but that doesn’t detract from the cinematography or brilliant acting on display.

This is the original theatrical trailer from 1962, and it should give you a good idea whether you want to watch the whole thing. Lawrence of Arabia is an epic adventure film in the truest sense of the word.

Lawrence of Arabia is in the news once again not only for the film but also because of new revelations as to some of Thomas Edward Lawrence’s exploits during World War I.

The revelations concerning so-called ‘X-Flights’ have come from James Hynes, who discovered the diaries of his cousin’s father; a man who served with Lawrence during the campaign against the Turks of the Ottoman Empire.
