Princess Samantha Kennedy Duchess of Oltu Wants You To Watch "Lawrence of Arabia"

“Lawrence of Arabia” is a wonderful epic about T.E. Lawrence (Peter O’Toole), a British officer who is sent to Arabia in 1917, and becomes a heroic leader in the Arabic rebellion against the Turks. His loyalties become conflicted the more he becomes integrated into Arab society. The stars of this historical-adventure classic are Peter O’Toole, Omar Sharif, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Claude Rains, Anthony Quayle, Jose Ferrer, Arthur Kennedy, Gamil Ratib, Donald Wolfit, Zia Mohyeddin and I.S. Johar. In this epic film, Lawrence is a complex man and he has been called everything from hero, to charlatan, to sadist. In the desert, he organizes a guerrilla army and for two years leads the Arabs in harassing the Turks with desert raids, train-wrecking and camel attacks. He leads his army Northward and helps a British General destroy the power of the Ottoman Empire. Peter O’Toole also starred in other motion pictures, “Kidnapped,” “My Favorite Year,” “The Day They Robbed the Bank of England” and “The Ruling Class.” “Lawrence of Arabia” is considered one of the greatest and most influential films in the history of cinema. “Lawrence of Arabia” won 7 Oscars. It was produced by Sam Spiegel, directed by David Lean and screenplay by Robert Bolt and Michael Wilson. By Princess Samantha Kennedy
