The story of T.E. Lawrence, the English officer who successfully united and led the diverse, often warring, Arab tribes during World War I in order to fight the Turks. (IMDb) ( )

A conceited British man-child leads Arab armies.

At least it's not as bad as Doctor Zhivago. I wonder if in 1962 a movie's being 4 hours long was considered a good thing. Maybe it made it more of an event, that people felt obliged to take part in? Or maybe it's the idea that if a movie's harder to watch, it must be high art - because why else would they do it?
