There's no getting around a simple, basic truth: watching Lawrence of Arabia in any home-video format represents a compromise. There's no better way to appreciate this epic biographical adventure than to see it projected in 70 millimeter onto a huge theater screen. That caveat aside, David Lean's masterful "desert classic" is still enjoyable on the small screen, especially if viewed in widescreen format. (If your only option is to view a "pan & scan" version, it's best not to bother; this is a film for which the widescreen format is utterly mandatory.) Peter O'Toole gives a star-making performance as T.E. Lawrence, the eccentric British officer who united the desert tribes of Arabia against the Turks during World War I. Lean orchestrates sweeping battle sequences and breathtaking action, but the film is really about the adventures and trials that transform Lawrence into a legendary man of the desert. Lean traces this transformation on a vast canvas of awesome physicality; no other movie has captured the expanse of the desert with such scope and grandeur. Equally important is the psychology of Lawrence, who remains an enigma even as we grasp his identification with the desert. Perhaps the greatest triumph of this landmark film is that Lean has conveyed the romance, danger, and allure of the desert with such physical and emotional power. It's a film about a man who leads one life but is irresistibly drawn to another, where his greatness and mystery are allowed to flourish in equal measure. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Lawrence of Arabia (Single Disc Edition)

Long in tooth.
David Lean, charming though he may be, made some pretty pandering films. Lawrence of Arabia prances about for the first two hours and then turns into a dizzying middle-east history lesson for the last hour and 15 minutes. It's all just a bit much, as are some of the performances. Alec Guiness in particular is like fingernails on a chalkboard; always a "character", never believable. <

>Yes, yes, yes it looks beautiful indeed. Congratulations Jack Hildyard or whoever you are.


A great masterpiece.
What can I say that the other reviewers haven't said already this is a wonderful film and a great epic that was directed by David Lean, he is probably one of the greatest filmmakers of all time and most of his films have some of the best cinematography you have ever seen taking advantage of the landscape and there is a breathtaking view of the desert, the musical score was also amazing. The best thing about this film is the fact that it is flawless, everything from the performances to the script was excellent and the film also won several Oscars in 1962 and was based on a true story although I'm not sure if its accurate since I don't know that much about Lawrence only the fact that he was a legend. The film is about T.E. Lawrence brilliantly played by Peter O'Toole who is a young lieutenant in the British army in Cairo during World War One, he is assigned to help the Arabs fight the Turks in Arabia and becomes successful at uniting the waring tribes of Sherif Ali played by Omar Sharif in a role that made him a star and Auda Abu Tayi (Anthony Quinn), together they end up capturing the city of Aquaba and destroying the Turk strong hold in a memorable scene as they start charging in the desert this is definitely one of the greatest films ever made and the supporting characters are well defined especially Omar Sharif and Alec Guinness as Prince Faisel who is trying to progress the Arab revolt against the Turks, I'm not going to say anything more cause I don't want to ruin it for those who haven't seen it yet, the special features were great even though the documentary Wind sand and star: the making of a classic was a bit boring cause its old the rest were fantastic, anyways you should definetely check out this classic film.


The greatest war movie that's not really a war movie.
Although this movie isn't a completely accurate depiction of Lawrence's life, it is a great movie about life. This movie depicts the struggles of a man in a foreign world that became one with both the people of that land and almost the land itself. <
>This movie is long and even when you think it's done it isn't even close. The nice thing is you don't mind, because there is so much more to tell. I hadn't seen this movie until I bought it. I never do that, but I figured it had to be good since it won best picture and I love war movies. Well I found out that it really isn't a war movie. Now I'm not saying that there aren't any battles. There are, but I'd say both in time and atmosphere that this is more a journey movie about a man going somewhere both physically and spiritually. <
>I highly recommend this movie. <
