Film Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean, 1962)

I had never seen the classic film Lawrence of Arabia but my wife and I had the good fortune of seeing it tonight outdoors at the NC Museum of Art's Summer Film series. It's an epic at 227 minutes (we had an intermission; the film was captivating enough that I didn't find the break necessary, and it sure didn't feel like it lasted almost 4 hours) with Peter O'Toole playing the role of T.E. Lawrence, conflicted English military friend of the Arabs during World War I.
