50th anniversary of the movie this year...and there's a lot of info on the internet about the real T.E. Lawrence. Look for T.E. Lawrence Studies, T.E. Lawrence Society, and Clio Visualizing History--this site has a video and a ton of photos (the real T.E. was a good-looking guy!...still controversial though, even 95 years after Aqaba).

You are rubbish as a film critic. This is the best film ever made!

@RichardElden Like all major blockbusters today, there are so many nationalities involved it's debatable as to which country it belongs, if any.
Columbia distributed the film and owned the rights but it was financed through Horizon Pictures (a British company run by American Sam Spiegel). The script was written by Robert Bolt, an Englishman. Nearly all the cast and crew were British. The director, David Lean, was English. The music was by Maurice Jarre, a Frenchman. So which country made it?

How accurate the portrayal of Lawrence is in this film is irrelevant- films from this era were very rarely concerned with historical accuracy.
A complex man in real life, the interpretation of him in this film is equally so, and that's what's the most interesting to watch. Twice in the film, we see Lawrence urging Allenby to hand over the mission to somebody else- despite the fact that, in many ways, the desert was clearly where Lawrence felt most at home.

@hobo8675309 The fact that the story is set during world wars 1 and 2, concerning British naval officers and Saudi, bedouin soldiers, doesn't hurt either.

@hobo8675309 Correct.
-
@Losrandir Lawrence claimed to be asexual, though some modern scholars believe that he was gay. He didn't care about women, which is why not one woman appears in the movie.

Such a wonderful movie - two great actors - Hawkins was classic.

@Igotangry Out of sheer curiosity is this the first time you've heard of the man?
