Overview

Lawrence of Arabia is widely considered one of the ten greatest films ever made—though more often by film goers and filmmakers than by critics. This study argues that the film is a unique blend of visionary image-making, narrative power, mythopoetic charm and psychological acuteness; far from being a Boy's Own Tale, it is one of popular cinema's greatest tragedies. This volume brings together a critical analysis of the film and an account of its tangled production history—combining these elements with the story of attempts by Alexander Korda and others to bring Lawrence's story to the screen.
