He was brilliant in "Aurence" of Arabia. The first part of the film in the desert


with Omar and Peter O Toole was just absolute magic.


All made just more incredible by the haunting music of Maurice Jarre.


Saw it in London and they had rigged the cinema for a long run.


The speakers were festooned around the place giving out 6 tracks.


Just an incredible sound.


The screen was the full width of the cinema and bowed.


It just felt as though you were in the desert.


From what I have read Omar loved to gamble away all his money.


Not so good 83 is a bit short nowadays. But I bet he had a


great life especially with the women. Some have all the luck


and good looks. Ah well.

Good film.

True, but rather too long for my liking


Was it Olivier who said something to the effect that had O'Toole been any more beautiful in that film he would have had to have been a girl?


Cheers

Agree on the length Steve. Found the first part as I have said incredible. In the desert.


Unfortunately I found the second half a strange mix. almost as if they had finished the


first bit and then run out of money and imagination. Very sad.


If you look at T E Lawrence he was effeminate. Visited his cottage type house some


years back and looking at the photos he appeared a bit weird to say the least.


Actually Omar looked a bit of a sweetie in the film.
