One of the best

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 1999)

This is a terrific, terrific movie. Great performances(by everyone right on down to the camels) incredible scenery, feats of derring-do; of violence and beauty. I have always liked the cast here very much:Anthony Quayle doing his Cary Grant soundalike stiff upper lipper best, Arthur Kennedy(truly one of the least remembered greats, another Ralph Bellamy/Joseph Cotten type) as the reporter, all cynicsm and camera bound; Alec Guinness turning his genteel british upper crust into Faisal....all of it set up with Peter O'toole's incredible turn as 'Orintze'...
I can't recommend this one highly enough. See it in wide screen if possible, but do go see it. Even better than El Cid and Guns Of Navarone from the time...
