LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
July 18, 2014  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Every time TCM shows Lawrence of Arabia, I put it in Best Bets – and why not? David Lean’s 1962 masterpiece is indeed an epic, in every sense of the word. And only TCM, usually, shows this lengthy movie the way it should be shown, uninterrupted and with the proper screen ratio. Peter O’Toole is every bit as charismatic, contrary and cool as the real T.E. Lawrence was reported to be – and there’s a certain symmetry that actor Omar Sharif gets to play a character named Sherif. Also co-starring: Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, and those stunning, seemingly endless Arabian deserts.
