Synopsis
"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.
