	T. E. Lawrence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lawrence was born in Tremadog, Caernarfonshire, North Wales, of mixed English and Scottish ancestry.
		Lawrence's intimate knowledge of the Arab people made him the ideal liaison between British and Arab forces and in October 1916 he was sent into the desert to report on the Arab nationalist movements.
		According to Lawrence's RAF enlistment medical file of March 12, 1923, he was 5 ft 5.5 in (1.66 m) tall, weighed 130 lb (59 kg), had "scars on his buttocks", "three superficial scars on lower part of his back" and "four superficial scars left side." He was also circumcised.

	Lawrence of Arabia (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lawrence of Arabia is an Academy Award-winning film based, with some licence, on the life of T.
		Lawrence, unlike his depiction in the film, was far from a pacifist before the war; indeed, he was a crack shot with a pistol (his preferred weapon being a Colt.45 Peacemaker) and enjoyed practicing at shooting ranges when he could.
		Much of the missing dialogue involves Lawrence's writing of poetry and verse, alluded to by Allenby in particular, saying "the last poetry general we had was Wellington." Lawrence's first meeting with Allenby in Cairo was significantly shorter, and the scene in Jerusalem where Allenby convinces Lawrence not to resign existed in only fragmented form.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Lawrence of Arabia
		Lawrence (played by Peter O'Toole), young and insubordinate lieutenant confined for the boring desk job at Cairo headquarters, seems perfect for the job because he had spent pre-war years on various archaeological expeditions and thus gained excellent knowledge of local geography, language and culture.
		Lawrence is promoted to Major, given vast supplies of guns and ammunition and the resulting series of victories turn him into household name all over the world.
		LAWRENCE OF ARABIA in its final scenes gives hints of those future developments by showing British and French government becoming aware of oil importance and making sure that the lands with these precious resources remain under their control.

		Lawrence's efforts to unify the various Arab factions are particularly prescient given the allies' current attempts to achieve the same in Iraq.
		Lawrence became an inspirational warlord whose neutral presence amongst the Arab tribes, lead by Omar Sharif and Anthony Quinn, amongst others, served to glue together shifting and uneasy alliances.
		As well as wrestling with himself, with his own demons, and with the cruel desert environment, the Englishman was also faced with culture clashes which pitted not only the imperialists against the indigenous populations, but also the mercenary practices of the Arab guerillas against the discipline of the British army.

	dOc DVD Review: Lawrence of Arabia (Superbit) (1962)
		T.E. Lawrence was a complex, controversial figure, and Lean (aided by the literate Robert Bolt-Michael Wilson screenplay) subtly weaves his strengths, neuroses, and unshakable beliefs into the film without detracting from the action at large.
		Lawrence basks in the ensuing idolatry, but such heady success breeds a false sense of invincibility that taints his future actions and forces a crisis of character.
		Considering that Lawrence of Arabia teetered on the brink of extinction 15 years ago (and was rescued by restoration authority Robert A. Harris, who also provided extensive input for this DVD release), the sharpness, detail and vivacity of this Superbit effort is nothing short of extraordinary.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (SUPERBIT)
		Set during WWI, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA recounts a portion of the military career of one T.E. Lawrence (in a superb portrayal by Peter O'Toole), a seemingly non-descript British officer, who is bored by his duties in the military headquarters in Cairo.
		While the taking of Aqaba is a monumental achievement, Lawrence finds his greatest challenge during his time in the desert to be uniting the various Arab tribes, who would just as soon make war on each other, as they would the Turks.
		LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is truly one of the greatest, if not the greatest motion pictures of all time.

	DVD Review - Lawrence of Arabia
		T.E. Lawrence is one of the most complex, elusive and ultimately unknowable figures in history and, as played by Peter O'Toole in a legendary, star-making performance, one of the most multi-dimensional characters to ever anchor a film.
		As the film begins, Lawrence is a map maker for the British army in Cairo, looked upon as a dilettante and a half-wit by his superiors.
		Lawrence is sent off to act as an observer in the camp of Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness).

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
		Lawrence is sent out into the desert to confer with Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness) and assess the progress of the Arab revolt against the Turks.
		Quickly becoming more than a mere observer, Lawrence's assessment of the situation entails leading the Arab forces across the uncrossable Nafud Desert and attacking the Turk stronghold in the port of Aqaba, from the side from which no one should be able to launch such an attack.
		LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is presented on two dual layered DVD, with the break between discs coming logically at the intermission.

	Film Classics: Lawrence of Arabia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		A stunning, exotic epic recounting the exploits of T. Lawrence in World War I, "Lawrence of Arabia" is close to being the perfect film.
		Lawrence's sexuality in the film is rather ambiguous, although his scenes with a Turkish garrison commander played with malevolent sensuality by José Ferrer and with two young Arab boys who accompany him on some expeditions flirt quite openly with homosexuality.
		As terrific as O'Toole is making us believe in Lawrence as a tortured man of destiny, at times mad with delusions of grandeur, at times racked by guilt at his own barbarism and infrequently infuriated at the inanities of mere mortals, the supporting cast is sensational.

		Thomas Edward Lawrence was a minor British Intelligence Officer working in the map room in Cairo when, in 1916, he started off on the first of his self appointed adventures.
		Lawrence was completely fluent in the Arabic language, which is the language used in leading the prayer in every Islamic mosque in the world.
